Pac-10 Football: Ducks, Andrew Luck, Stephen Paea Headline All-Conference Teams

In the last year of a 10-team conference, Pac-10 coaches got together and named their all-conference selections on Tuesday.

Not much of a surprise, the undefeated Oregon Ducks and Orange Bowl-bound Stanford Cardinal dominated the first and second teams.

For the second straight year, Chip Kelly was named the conference coach of the year, beating out Stanford's Jim Harbaugh.

In a battle of Heisman finalists, Cardinal quarterback Andrew Luck was the named the Pac-10 offensive player of the year over Oregon running back LaMichael James. 

Possibly the most impressive defensive tackle in the conference since Haloti Ngata, Oregon State senior Stephen Paea was selected by coaches as the Pat Tillman defensive player of the year.

Wide receiver Robert Woods of USC was tabbed the offensive freshman of the year, and Sun Devil defensive end Junior Onyeali took home the conference defensive freshman player of the year honor.
