CBS Sports All-America 2020 team: Alabama and SEC lead the way with most selections

With the 2020 regular season now in the books, our panel of college football experts faced tougher decisions than usual when meeting to select the 2020 CBS Sports / 247Sports All-America teams. For the first time this year, experts from CBS Sports and 247Sports have joined forces to launch combined teams of All-America selections as featured below.

There have only been two unanimous selections this season with Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith and Florida tight end Kyle Pitts, both representing the SEC. The two most explosive offensive playmakers this season combined to score 29 scrum touchdowns. Both are finalists for the Biletnikoff Award for the country’s top receiver – Pitts, the first tight end in history to earn the honor – while Smith rose to favorite status for the Heisman Trophy. Smith is also a CBS Sports All-America selection as a versatile player.

A total of 32 programs are represented in the two teams of 54 selections in total. Alabama leads the way with 10 total caps and eight first-team picks, somewhat more than they received in the preseason despite Jaylen Waddle (who was three preseason picks) missing most of the game. of the season due to injury. No other team has more than three selections in total (Florida, Ohio State, Miami) or two first-team selections (Florida, Notre Dame).

Six SEC teams are represented among the league’s 17 picks, while nine ACC teams (including Notre Dame this season) make up the league’s 13 picks.
