Default Austin Collie as All-American?

With Austin Collie currently leading the nation in receiving yards per game, what are his chances of being named an All American? There's only two, right? You've got Dez Bryant, Michael Crabtree, and Jeremy Maclin out there, as well. If the All American team(s) was named right now, would Austin make it over two of those other guys?

I think he was on a few mid-season AA lists.

He's a heckuva receiver. He would be a solid pick for AA honors.

I think that his chances are really good. AA awards are very stat driven and don't get me wrong he has the stats to hang with anyone in the country right now and deserves it. I think that his chances were hurt a little when BYU lost to TCU and feel out of the BCS talk. All the BYU hype has been switched from BYU to Utah and Boise St. now and I think that could possibly hurt his chances of being named an AA.

a good guess, absent a few more monster games. If he had a monster game in an upset of Utah, that could put him over the top.
