The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams.

Hey, New Orleans, it’s finally here! After a season of unparalleled challenges, the 2-0 Saints return to the Big Easy and the Louisiana Superdome for a Monday Night Football matchup with first place up for grabs against the 2-0 division-rival Atlanta Falcons in what promises to be one of the most memorable events in Saints history. “We can do great things for the morale of this region and I think we’re all excited about Monday night,” says Saints running back DEUCE MC ALLISTER, a native of Lena, Mississippi. “It’s about pulling together, setting goals and striving to reach them. It’s about taking care of each other and focusing on the collective good of everyone.” A sellout crowd, an ESPN national telecast, top entertainment including U2, GREEN DAY and the GOO GOO DOLLS, former president GEORGE BUSH tossing the coin, and a pair of undefeated teams vying for the top spot in the NFC South are just part of the storyline as the city of New Orleans reopens one of its signature landmarks little more than a year after it suffered significant damage as a result of Hurricane Katrina. And the people of the city and region are ready! Saints fans have responded enthusiastically to the return of their team, as the organization nears selling out the dome for the entire season.
