Can't really disagree with any of the picks on offense or special teams (the all-purpose player is a no-brainer
)
Don't know about some of the picks on defense, though.

While Mark Legree is a great safety, I'm not sure I would put him on an all-decade team. He's only got two years of playing time. Couldn't give you a better pick but I'm sure there are others out there.
I like the dominance of ASU on the defensive side of the ball
Not even enough room to fit Jason Hunter on there.

No Matt Nelson from Wofford at safety is BS.

I KNEW there was somebody I forgot from Wofford when we were discussing this on the GSU messageboards.
It is hard to leave OG Chad Motte from GSU off as he was a Sports Network first team all american twice, in fact I would replace Deutsch with him and replace Legree with Nelson. I would have replaced Roman with William Freeman too as I thought Freeman was more of a playmaker, more dangerous, and harder to scheme against despite Roman's 400+
career tackles.
There are a lot of really good players who didn't make that list.
Jermaine Austin had over 5000 career rushing yards (all in the decade) but he was rightfully left off in favor of Payton Award winners Peterson and Ivory.
JR Revere (NC 2000, QB 2 conference titles), Billy Napier (playoff passing % record), Ingle Martin (all american), Richie Williams (SoCon single game passing % record, 2005 NC) Payton Award winner Jayson Foster, Chaz Williams (over 30 TD's and 1400 yrds rushing in 2002) were all GREAT QB's but they weren't Armanti.
All in all a great list and really good conversation fodder during the off season...

I'm ok with very little wofford players on here, but Matt Nelson deserves this more than any. definately the best defensive player wofford has ever had

I'm glad they found a place to put Jason Foster on that team as he was a playmaker extraordinary and the only guy besides AE that was to me was extremely dangerous every time he touched the ball. If not for the coaching issues, he would have had an even better career.
I'd like to coach that team in the ACC.

Not having John Mohring on this list is a farce.
