It's not just the AP. Every AA list is packed with SEC players this year. Understandable, as the SEC had perhaps one of its best seasons this year and was far ahead of any other conference.

Huh? The SEC was totally dominated by one team. 

I mean kudos to Bama but in years past the other schools at least beat them once.

While it does feel like there are to many SEC players on the list, as far as Texas goes, I'm not sure we have anyone who _should_ be on the list.  Sam had a nice year, as did Lil'Jordan,  C. Johnson,  and a few guys on D, but there wasn't really anyone this year that felt "All-American".

I don't think anyone's arguing for the inclusion of any Longhorns on this list.

That said, most of the SEC players who made All-America are studs.
