Summer is coming to an end, and with the college football season is right around the corner, it is the perfect time to announce the 2017 CBS Sports Preseason All-America Team as voted on by our panel of college football analysts and insiders.

There were six unanimous selections -- one on offense and five on defense -- with a whopping 21 different programs represented among the 27 first-team selections. Clemson, Florida State, LSU, Penn State, Pitt and USC were the only schools to have two first-teamers.

Among conferences, the ACC was on top with seven first-team picks, followed by the SEC (six), Pac-12 (four), Big Ten and Big 12 (three each). There were two Group of Five selections and a pick from Notre Dame. Wideout Quadree Henderson of Pittsburgh made the first team as a kick returner and all-purpose player, while Texas A&M wide receiver and return specialist Christian Kirk also makes multiple appearances.

Nine members of the 2016 CBS Sports All-America teams are among our preseason picks.
