Everyone has an All-America team these days. Heck, now that they’ve got some free time I hear the folks at Serial are going to pump out their own 2014 All-America team next week.
However, in crunching out their own list of 25-odd players, no one crunches more data than Phil Steele. The man is already a quarter of the way through his initial work for the 2015 season.Finished 35th team in first write thru for 2015 magazine (South Alabama) http://t.co/VH6bnRiXEt Now onto 36th team, Bowl Green. 93 to go!
