BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Southeastern Conference Champion Alabama had the most representatives on the 2012 All-SEC Coaches’ Football Team, the league office announced on Tuesday. Alabama had eight total members, including six on the first team. Florida was close behind with seven, while Eastern Division Champion Georgia and Tennessee had six each.

Ten of the 14 SEC schools had a member on the first-team All-SEC squad. Alabama led with six, while Florida had five and Texas A&M with four.

LSU, South Carolina and Texas A&M had five total members on the annual list, while Mississippi State was next with four total selections.

Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own players.

Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M) and Todd Gurley (Georgia) were the only freshmen to make the squad, with Manziel the only newcomer to earn a spot on the first team.
