The 2016 All-America college football team is composed of the following All-America first teams chosen by the following selector organizations: Associated Press (AP), Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Walter Camp Foundation (WCFF), The Sporting News (TSN), Sports Illustrated (SI), USA Today (USAT), ESPN, CBS Sports (CBS), College Football News (CFN), Scout.com, Athlon Sports, and Fox Sports (FOX). Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams in the sports of Division I-FBS football and Division I men's basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources. Players are chosen against other players playing at their position only. To be selected a consensus All-American, players must be chosen to the first team on at least two of the five official selectors as recognized by the NCAA. Second- and third-team honors are used to break ties. Players named first-team to all five selectors are deemed unanimous All-Americans. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine consensus and unanimous All-Americans.https://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/ncaa/resources/stats/statistics+policies 2010-11 NCAA Statistics Policies(updated 9/15/2010) December 10, 2011 January 3, 2012 September 15, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20120103181529/http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/NCAA/Resources/Stats/Statistics+Policies National Collegiate Athletic Association dead The AFCA began selecting a second team in 2016.Jackson and Allen Headline 2016 FBS All-America Teams American Football Coaches Association https://www.afca.com/article/article.php?id=2838 https://web.archive.org/web/20161220172258/https://www.afca.com/article/article.php?id=2838 December 20, 2016 Twenty-seven players were recognized as consensus All-Americans for 2016, 14 of them being unanimous.
