Consensus 1985 All-Americans edit
Can someone please advise as to why these individuals below are listed under the Consensus section. As I understand it, in order to be considered a consensus All-American, they need to be recognized as first-team by at least half of the official selectors. So for 1985 that means a minimum of three. None of these listed below meets that criteria. Am I missing something? Thank you.
| Name | Position | School | Number[1] | Official | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| John Rienstra | Offensive guard | Temple | 2/3/5 | AP, FWAA | GNS, NEA, SH |
| Jamie Dukes | Offensive guard | Florida State | 2/1/3 | FWAA, WC | SH |
| Reggie Dupard | Running back | SMU | 1/0/1 | FWAA | - |
| Napoleon McCallum | Running back | Navy | 1/0/1 | WC | - |
| Thurman Thomas | Running back | Oklahoma State | 1/0/1 | UPI | - |

- The NCAA-published "Football Award Winners" (here), at page 13, lists each of them as consensus All-Americans. It's my understanding that, if nobody gets a majority of the designations, the NCAA recognizes as consensus those with the most designations. I do, however, recall looking at this in the past and finding some contradictions in how NCAA determines its list of consensus AAs. Cbl62 (talk) 02:19, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- ^ This column lists the number of selectors choosing the player as a first-team All-American as follows: official selectors/other selectors/total selectors.
