So many All-America teams, so little time

Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon became a unanimous All-American for the second consecutive season Thursday, meaning he was a first team selection on the five “recognized” All-America teams—the Football Coaches Association, the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the Associated Press, the Football Writers Association of America and the Sporting News.

Then there are the—not recognized?—organizations that also pick All-America teams, mostly national media outlets like Sports Illustrated and ESPN.com. To put it bluntly, there are a lot of All-America teams.

In all, seven Cowboys have earned some type of recognition this season. And interestingly? Brandon Weeden is not one of them.
