If we'd have beaten Auburn --

CJ, McCarron and CYKO would be 1st team
Yeldon, Ha-Ha and Steen would have been 2nd team
Belue, Collins, and Mandell would have been HM

Before the season, what kind of odds could you have gotten in Vegas that Jadeveon Clowney would be left off of all three of these lists? Between 1st team, 2nd team and honorable mention, SI's list has 23 defensive linemen. Clowney isn't among them.

"I'mma let you finish" .... but .... while I love the idea of a 4-team playoff, I detest the idea of the committee. I'd prefer we keep the BCS ranking system as-is but have 4 teams instead of 2 at the end of the year. Else, like the Heisman, (and now) All-American Team (why AJ is not at least 2nd team, I have no clue), the "playoffs" will become a beauty pageant. It will be the 4 most talked-about teams rather than the 4-best teams. Ok.. here's your mic back, All-America commenters. Hey, my rant was somewhat related to the topic :cool:

That is what happens when a kid takes things for granted. It could cost him a little bit of money as well in the NFL draft.

Doubtful. Maybe Ha-Ha would have been 2nd team. Maybe CYKO would have been 1st team. Maybe CJ would have been 1st team. The rest? No way.

The only one that matters is the AP. USA Today would be second. SI doesn't matter. Also....and don't flame me....Tre Mason deserved to be 1st team. He's had good years back to back seasons. He's not a flash in the pan or just a system back.

I'm not sure I agree with that. He's had a good year. I just believe he thrived in that system.

He was a 1,000 yard back on last year's AU team. Given their offensive struggles that says something. No oline and no passing game. He will be playing on Sundays. He's not a "system" back.

If it wasn't for a referee mishap he wouldn't have gotten that. Any back could run in that system, and any back did. He had a great year I will give him that, but the system allowed for him.

In 2012 there was no "system." You can blame it on refs if you want but he still has back to back 1,000 yd seasons. One in Gus' system and one in a dumpster fire. The latter is more impressive than the former. He's a very good back and not just a "system back." Gotta give credit where it's due. He is as deserving as the RB from Arizona. You could also argue he benefited from a "system." Should he have made it over the BC RB? Absolutely not.

Any back that rushes for 1600 yards and 300 yards in the SEC championship game is not just "any back". If "any back" coud do that it means that it is an incredible system.
