Look, it's Preseason All-SEC Team day in America. Bafflingly, the conference's team differs slightly from EA Sports' vision of the perfect Southeastern football lineup in that it features players from teams besides just the Alabama Crimson Tide.
As expected, Georgia Bulldogs QB Aaron Murray holds down the most important position on the most important preseason all-conference team in the world's most important sport. He's joined by TE Orson Charles and OL Cordy Glenn. For the second-straight year, Georgia's mighty specialist gallery takes first-team honors: both K Blair Walsh and P Drew Butler tower over their respective foes, with Brandon Boykin also showing up as the return man. Also, last year Georgia placed only one first-team offensive lineman and zero first-team defenders -- same story this time around.
Here's the list of complete preseason All-SEC first, second and third teams:
