ESPN Pre-Season All-American Team

Ivan Maisel has his pre-season All-Americans up over at ESPN and the Pac-10 placed four players on the list:

Zach Miller, TE - ASU
Ryan Kalil, C - USC
Lawrence Jackson, DE - USC
Daymeion Hughes, CB - Cal

I am a little surprised that Calvin Johnson made the list and Dwayne Jarrett didn't. Granted Johnson is crazy talented and may be drafted before Jarrett, but Chan Gailey is still planning on having Reggie Ball start at quarterback. If you think Ball is going to be breaking out of his three year slump any day now, Paris Hilton also wants you to know she's celibate. Unsurprisingly, the SEC doesn’t place a single player on offense, and manage only two on defense, the same as the Pac-10. The breakdown by conference (and ND) is below:

8 - Big Ten
6 - Big 12
4 - Pac-10
3 - Notre Dame
2 - SEC
1 - ACC
1 - Big East

On another note, I’ve recruited another college football fan to help with the blog. So you should all be hearing more from Mike soon.
