SEC Talk

The coaches pre-season All SEC team was announced on Thursday. Florida led the way with 16 players selected, including a whopping eight on the first team. LSU followed with 10, and Bama and Georgia had nine players each selected to the team.

Three players were unanimous selections: Eric Berry (DB - Tennessee), Ciron Black (OL - LSU), and Julio Jones (WR - Bama). Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players, therefore a unanimous selection is actually 11 of 12 votes.

Nine schools had players earn first team honors.

The All-SEC team as selected by members of the media will be announced next week during SEC Media Days in Hoover, Alabama.
