ESPN’s Mark Schlabach included three Georgia Bulldogs on this year’s All-Bowl team.
Schlabach selected running back Sony Michel, linebacker Roquan Smith and kicker Rodrigo Blankenship.
Georgia and Alabama led all teams with three selections each.
"It's always Sony in Pasadena -- and Atlanta,” Schlabach wrote in his rationale for choosing Michel over Nick Chubb. “Georgia's star backfield of Michel and Nick Chubb combined for 326 rushing yards with five touchdowns on 26 carries in the Rose Bowl victory over Oklahoma. Michel had 98 rushing yards on 14 carries in Monday's loss to Alabama.
“No other running back duo in FBS history finished with more combined career rushing yards than their 8,407 yards during the past four seasons.”
Schlabach's rationale for selecting Smith and Blankenship can be read on ESPN's website.
