The SEC unveiled its preseason all-conference football teams Friday, as voted on by the league’s media members at SEC Media Days. Given how the conference has trended in recent years, it should come as no surprise that Georgia and Alabama are a common fixture throughout the selections. 

Nick Saban may have retired after one of the greatest coaching careers this sport has seen, but he certainly didn’t leave the cupboards bare. The Crimson Tide lead all programs with 16 total selections on the three All-SEC teams. 

National powerhouse Georgia isn’t far behind with 15 players of its own earning a nod. The Bulldogs have six first-team selections, the most of any SEC program. That includes incumbent starting quarterback Carson Beck, the nation’s leading returning passer. 

Of the conference’s touted newcomers, Texas is well-represented. The Longhorns had 13 players earn a spot on at least one of the three teams, including first-team offensive lineman Kelvin Banks Jr. and second-team quarterback Quinn Ewers. 

Oklahoma did produce a pair of first-team players on defense in linebacker Danny Stutsman and defensive back Billy Bowman.
