Georgia football is fresh off beating Texas and claiming their third SEC Championship under head coach Kirby Smart. So one would imagine that Georgia will dominate the conference's All-SEC selections as the SEC Champions, but that wasn't necessarily the case.
The Bulldogs did lead the entire conference with 14 selections, but there was one part of the All-SEC selections that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
But first, let's dive into all 14 selections for Georgia on the coaches' All-SEC selections.
First Team Selections
Offensive Guard: Tate Ratledge
Long Snapper: Beau Gardner
Kickoff Specialist: Peyton Woodring
Second Team Selections
Offensive Guard: Dylan Fairchild
Center: Jared Wilson
Defensive End: Mykel Williams
Linebacker: Jalon Walker
Defensive Back: Malaki Starks
Place Kicker: Peyton Woodring
Third Team Selections
Running Back: Trevor Etienne
Linebacker: Chaz Chambliss
Defensive Back: Daylen Everette
Defensive Back: Dan Jackson
Punter: Brett Thorson
Georgia only has 3 first team selections
One would assume that the team that was just crowned champions of the SEC would have more than three selections on the first team, but that is all the SEC coaches gave Georgia this year. And even more interesting, two of those selections were specialists on special teams and the third was an offensive lineman.
All three of those players definitely deserved to make the cut, but it is shocking that more Georgia players weren't given this honor.
Linebacker Jalon Walker has a great argument to be included on the first time after setting a college football record in the first meeting against Texas. On top of that, punter Brett Thorson was statistically No. 2 in average punt yards in the conference, only behind Vanderbilt's punter by .4 yards.
But the lack of first team selections shows that Georgia is that much better than the rest of the SEC at playing team football. They couldn't rely on just one or two players for their success, they had to rely on every single player doing their part to win this season.
So while other teams can celebrate all of their first team All-SEC selections, Georgia can enjoy winning the SEC, which obviously matters way more.
