After a debate Thursday about the BCS era All-SEC team chosen by ESPN.com's Chris Low, the question arose. Who would be on the All-Auburn team for the BCS era?
Senior Editor Phillip Marshall
Some selections are obvious. No way could quarterback Cam Newton, defensive tackle Nick Fairley, cornerback Carlos Rogers, running back Carnell Williams, offensive guard Ben Grubbs or offensive tackle Marcus McNeill be left off. But other positions were not so easy.
No doubt some will disagree, but here is my All-Auburn BCS era team:
