2009 Pre-Season ALL MACK Team (NCAA)

It is with great pride that I present to you the first annual Pre-Season ALL MACK Team for the collegiate ranks. There are no monetary awards that go to any of the players on the list, but if Playboy's Pre-Season All-American team can be taken seriously, why can't mine, right?

The obvious query that I know most will have is "What is the criteria for the selections?" And the answer is actually quite simple. If I were a coach and I had one game to coach and my life depended on it, these are the 26 (11 offense, 11 defense, 4 Special teams) college football players I would want on my team. So without further ado, I present to you the 2009 ALL MACK Team (NCAA edition).
