Here is a link to the 2012 All B1G teams, as voted on by the coaches and the media. I know it doesn't matter, but what the heck?

1) Why are 0 osu players on the 1st team offense for the coaches? Seriously, wtf?
2) Hankins is on the 2nd team according to the media. Hmm.
What do folks think about these teams?







Kawann Short had a better year last year. Shazier has more sacks than Mauti does TFLs. It's all very messed up.
Shazier on the 2nd team is a joke.
Considering OSU led the B1G in scoring offense, I guess the absence of Buckeyes on 1st team O says a lot about what these coaches think of their own defenses.
OSU doesn't have a bunch of star players (according to the coaches), so Coach Meyer should be a lock for Coach of the Year, right? I mean Penn St. had 5 1st teamers to OSU's 2. Like that will ever happen. Sour grapes from the coaches... I'm embarrassed for them.
Meyer mentioned in the end-of-year presser that he worried about complacency. He needn't worry any longer. Based on the way that the national media has treated their undefeated season and the B1G coaches are now treating their individual efforts this year, it should not be hard to motivate this team next year. I am far from a conspiracy theorist, but I also don't need to look at the bottom of my shoe when something smells funny. This is dogshit.
The coaches must have thrown darts randomly at names to come up with that list. It's absolutely crazy that no Buckeyes were offensive first teamers on their list.
And Mauti ahead of Shazier?
Urban wanted an angry team next year too? Well now he'll have one. Enjoy one more year of the B1G Championship Game without us!

^This list actually makes some sense. Should be what the award is based off of...you know, guys who actually watch this conference for a living.
Miller was named Quarter Back of the year. He still not first team.
Shakier had most tackes for a lost in the big ten 17. Ryan tied the second most tackles 115.. This voting must be anti ohio state.
I think it's not a horrible list although Braxton & Shazier not being first team is a robbery...Shazier didn't really come on until a bit into the season but he should be a first team All American IMO, let alone the B1G...
Edit: It's a horrible list.

Here is the real all conference team by an actual expert, and one that reflects reality, not fantasy.
QB – Braxton Miller
RB – Montee Ball – Wisconsin
RB – Le’Veon Bell – Michigan State
WR – Allen Robinson – Penn State
WR – Kenny Bell – Nebraska
TE – Kyle Carter – Penn State
OT – Taylor Lewan – Michigan
OT – Rick Wagner – Wisconsin
OG – Spencer Long – Nebraska
OG – John Urshell – Penn State
OC – Matt Stankiewitch – Penn State
DE – Deion Barnes – Penn State
DE – John Simon – Ohio State
DT – Jordan Hill – Penn State
DT – Kawann Short – Purdue
LB – Mike Mauti – Penn State
LB – Gerald Hodges _ Penn State
LB – Glenn Carson – Penn State
S – Adrian Amos – Penn State
S – Micah Hyde – Iowa
DB – Johnny Adams – Michigan State
DB – Stephon Morris – Penn State
K – Jeff Butzien – Northwestern
P – Drew Meyer – Wisconsin
Athlete – Kain Colter – Northwestern
It feels like OSU is getting penalized on all fronts this season...for Braxton to be in the Heisman conversation and voted the 2nd best QB in the league is just a joke...
Seems like the media got it right but the B1G coaches are very bitter. So if we don't have the talent according to the coaches in the B1G does that mean UM gets COTY in the B1G? If not talent it has to be coaching, how else can you go 12-0?
Corona5 - That K John is known to be a Penn State homer big time. I dont take what he says seriously and your right its funny to see his list. Shows he knows nothing about B1G football.

ohio state first teamers should have been:
offense: braxton miller, andrew norwell, reid fragel
defense: simon, shazier and roby
second teamers should have been:
offense: hyde, corey brown, corey linsley
defense: hankins, MAYBE sabino and christian bryant
the teams they came up with are rediculous, i hate max bullough he gets so much more attention than rds its rediculous and lets not forget which players team was SUPPOSED to actually have a great defense in 2012 and
