I question the thoroughness of an author who can't get players' names right

And yet, no SoCon team ever sniffs the title game.

States that the selections were made by members of football writers associations, head coaches, sports information directors as well as the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), the Walter Camp Foundation and USA College Football. Guess that explains the large number of players on the list (and from the Southern Conference).

Your concept of "ever" seems akin to my dog's concept of the time I've been gone when I return from getting the newspaper from the end of my driveway.
