The NCAA uses five official selectors to also determine Consensus and Unanimous All-America honors. The five teams used by the NCAA to compile the consensus team are from the Associated Press, the AFCA, the FWAA, The Sporting News and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. A point system is used to calculate the consensus honors. The point system consists of three points for first team, two points for second team and three points for third team. No honorable mention or fourth team or lower are used in the computation. The teams are compiled by position and the player accumulating the most points at each position is named a Consensus All-American. If there is a tie at a position in football for first team then the players who are tied shall be named to the team. A player named first-team by all five of the NCAA-recognized selectors is recognized as a Unanimous All-American.https://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/ncaa/resources/stats/statistics+policies NCAA Consensus All-America selection 2011-12-10 https://web.archive.org/web/20120103181529/http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/NCAA/Resources/Stats/Statistics+Policies 2012-01-03 dead 2012 College Football All-America Team Player School Position Selector Consensus/Unanimous Montee Ball Wisconsin RB AFCA, Walter Camp, AP, ESPN, Pro Football Weekly Consensus Taylor Lewan Michigan OL Walter Camp, AP, ESPN, Sports Illustrated   Travis Frederick Wisconsin OL Pro Football Weekly   Johnathan Hankins Ohio State DL Scout.com   Venric Mark Northwestern PR Sporting News, FWAA, CBS Sports   Michael Mauti Penn State LB ESPN   Bradley Roby Ohio State CB ESPN   Academic All-Americans The following players were first team Academic All-Americans: Rex Burkhead (NEB), Patrick Ward (NW), and Pete Massaro (PSU) all repeated from the 2011 first team.
