Daily Blog •May 18, 2012

In yesterday's blog I started releasing my Preseason All Conference teams and today I will continue with the All-Independent and All-MAC teams

The MAC has 10 teams with two or more 1st-Team selections and are led by Bowling Green who has five players including 2 on their fine ST's unit. Defending East Champ Ohio has four 1st-Team selections while Western Michigan and Miami, Ohio each have three 1st-Team players and are led by offensive stars WMU QB Alex Carder and Miami WR Nick Harwell.

The All-Independent team has naturally been dominated by ND players but with the addition of BYU last year, the team has gotten more balanced. This year ND again leads the way with 13 1st-Team selections (20 overall) while BYU has 11 1st-Team selections (18 overall). Navy and Army each have one 1st-Team player while Army has 7 players overall Navy has 6.
