2011 DammitHerring.com Preseason All-American Team

God Bless America!

In keeping with our theme of predicting the future of college football in 2011, I’m going to do my preseason All-American Team. I have checked out several different All-American lists and using those as a base plus what I think, I have come up with a list which I feel is 100% accurate. No 2nd or 3rd string teams for me. That’s just loser talk. You’re either an All-American or you’re not. Alabama leads the list with four selections, Oregon has three, Georgia, Nebraska, and Oklahoma have two each.
