[5] Georgia lost their defensive coordinator; Mel Tucker to Colorado as their head coach after he spent the last two seasons at Georgia after leaving Alabama with Kirby Smart. [6] Tennessee quarterback Will McBride transferred from Tennessee thus ending his stint with the team leaving Tennessee to have a quarterback competition for the starting quarterback job. [7] LSU added the top recruited running back in the nation, John Emery to its running back corps for the season. [8] Missouri played a three game SEC road trip during the 2019 season and they will open the season against Wyoming. [9]

Previous season

During the 2018 Southeastern Conference football season, Alabama won the Southeastern Conference by defeating Georgia 35-28 in the 2018 SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.

All Conference Honorable Mentions

All-Americans

The 2019 College Football All-America Teams are composed of the following College Football All-American 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), FOX Sports (FOX) College Football News (CFN), Bleacher Report (BR), Scout.com, Phil Steele (PS), SB Nation (SB), Athlon Sports, Pro Football Focus (PFF) and Yahoo! Sports (Yahoo!).

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. The system consists of three points for a first-team honor, two points for second-team honor, and one point for third-team honor. Honorable mention and fourth team or lower recognitions are not accorded any points. Football consensus teams are compiled by position and the player accumulating the most points at each position is named first team consensus all-American. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine Consensus and Unanimous All-Americans. Any player named to the First Team by all five of the NCAA-recognized selectors is deemed a Unanimous All-American. [39] [40]
