College Football's All-Time All-America Team to be Revealed by Associated Press for Centennial Celebration
AP Unveils All-Time All-America College Football Team
The Associated Press (AP) is set to announce an all-time All-America college football team on August 14 at noon Eastern, marking a significant milestone in the world of college sports. This team, which will be comprised of the top players from the past century, will be selected by AP's esteemed college football reporters and a panel of sportswriters with decades of experience covering the sport.
The announcement will be accompanied by a package that includes historical photos and video, aiming to celebrate the rich history of college football. One of the notable highlights of the all-time first and second teams is the inclusion of Red Grange and Benny Friedman, who were part of the first AP All-America team named after the 1925 season.
Interestingly, three Oklahoma players have made the AP’s all-time All-America team, emphasizing their historical impact in college football. The full roster of every player named to the first and second all-time AP All-America teams will be available on AP’s college football poll page, the AP News app, and social media platforms like their official X (formerly Twitter) account.
For those interested in the complete roster, consulting the AP’s official release or their dedicated college football coverage is recommended. The AP Top 25 poll for the preseason will be released on August 11, adding another exciting layer to the college football season.
Ndamukong Suh, the only AP college football player of the year to exclusively play defense, is honored to be among the all-time greats whose legacy includes being an AP All-America honoree. Suh, who finished fourth in voting for the Heisman Trophy in 2009, has fond memories of being among the elite players to land on the AP list over the past 100 years.
Picking the best players from coast to coast is always controversial, but the AP All-America team is a key point in college athletics arguments. The glut of All-America teams has existed since the late 1800s, making the AP's all-time team all the more significant.

The AP's all-time All-America team is set to be a memorable event in college sports history, celebrating the greatest players from the past century.
- Despite the AP unveiling an all-time All-America college football team, the world of sports isn't solely focused on football, as other sports like cricket continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
- For those who follow football and other sports, the impressive and controversial task of picking the best players, similar to the AP All-America team, can be observed in the choice of the all-time All-America cricket team.
- As defenders play a crucial role in football, similar to cricket where the role of bowlers is equally important in setting up a victory, the honor bestowed upon Ndamukong Suh, arguably the Heisman Trophy's most accomplished defender, signifies his greatness not only in college football but also in hypothetical all-time cricket teams.
