With the college football season at its midway point, our panel of experts were faced with plenty of difficult decisions when convening to select the 2024 CBS Sports Midseason All-America team. It should perhaps come as no surprise, then, that voting was spread out to include players from 23 different teams across eight different conferences.
The effects of conference realignment were certainly felt with the newly expanded Power Four conferences garnering 20 selections. The SEC led all conferences with eight picks, followed by the Big Ten (five), ACC (four) and Big 12 (three). However, only three teams — Texas, Ohio State and Iowa — had more than one selection with two apiece. Colorado was the only team with one player — two-way star Travis Hunter — earning a nod at multiple positions. Notably absent from the team were programs like Georgia, Oregon and Clemson, all of which figure to be heavily involved in the College Football Playoff picture at season’s end.
This year’s unanimous selections include Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and Texas offensive lineman Kelvin Banks.
In an effort to modernize our All-America team and make it more representative of the current game, CBS Sports in 2022 adjusted the defensive roster positions, adding an additional defensive back slot. Furthermore, any EDGE rushers voted onto the team are positioned as listed on official team rosters.
