Alabama ran the regular season table, won the SEC Championship Game and earned the top seed in the College Football Playoff in 2020, and the league's coaches took notice. The Crimson Tide landed nine players on the Coaches All-SEC team on Tuesday, including Offensive Player of the Year DeVonta Smith and Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II.
Florida, Georgia and Missouri trailed the Tide with three first-team selections. Missouri quarterback Connor Bazelak and Auburn running back Tank Bigsby shared SEC Freshman of the Year honors.
