College Football's Midseason All-Conference Teams
Here we are seven weeks into the college football season, and we’re still pretty much just as clueless as we were back in August as to how things will shake out.
After watching another No. 1 team fall for the second consecutive week last night, you have to wonder just how much more craziness is on the horizon in the second half of the season.
We have seen some inconsistent play out of a lot of the nation’s supposed top teams, and it has left us scratching our heads as to who the contenders really are and who are merely pretenders.
We’ll find out over the course of the next few weeks which teams are "for real," but right now let’s take a look back at the first half of the season and appreciate some of the great efforts and individual performances that we’ve seen from some of the nation’s top players to start the year off.
Here’s a look at my midseason All-Conference Teams for all six BCS conferences.
