Interesting selections. Apparently Phil Steele's staff really holds it against players who miss any time with injuries (Sterling Moore, Taylor Thompson, etc.)

Thought Bryce Tennison should be on there somewhere, too. He's had a pretty good year.

[RednBlue11]

excellent.

[Harry0569]

That's a lot of Ponies, and all coming back next year (except AR and Pete Fleps). Bodes very well.

Phil Steele is the premier college football guru (besides Tony Barnhardt), and I take whatever he writes extremely seriously [well except for him predicting UGA to go all the way]. By all the way, I think he meant all the way up to Memphis.

[Big Hoss]

Great for all the guys. Interesting that Margus made 4th team and Taylor Thompson isn't on the list at all.

[NickSMU17]

I like that we have lots of guys on the list, but the order is terrible...

Jagared on 3rd team...cmon...

[The PonyGrad]

No Sterling Moore?

[sbsmith]

Kinda weird that Crawford is on the 1st team (Moore should really have that spot), Davis and Fleps should switch spots.

[docabel]

No argument from anyone that Moore should make the list on value to the team. With him being out for so much of the season, it's hard to argue for his inclusion however.

Can't really support his exclusion of Thompson on those grounds however.

[mrydel]

It is the nature of the beast. We had a kid at CB who was All SWC as a soph. Did not make it as a Jr. or Sr. because after a great soph year, teams quit throwing to his side of the field. So he effectively shut down 1/3 of the defensive backfield but could get no interception numbers because no passes were thrown his way.

[Pony_Law]

I thinkthe team is a bit light on the O-Line we have the leading rusher and the line has been solid all year

[panhandle_pony]

Great - Fine and Dandy for these guys, but I just don't buy the fact that Taylor Thompson was not listed.

[Dement-ed]

Great for all the guys. Interesting that Margus made 4th team and Taylor Thompson isn't on the list at all.

Not sure Phil Steele deserves much cred if Thompson isn't on the list at all. That's ridiculous.

Not sure Phil Steele deserves much cred if Thompson isn't on the list at all. That's ridiculous.

Maybe he decided based on the catching the end of the ECU game.
