With the 2020 regular season now in the books, our panel of college football experts were faced with more difficult decisions than usual when convening to select the 2020 CBS Sports/247Sports All-America teams. For the first time this year, experts from CBS Sports and 247Sports joined forces to release combined teams of All-America selections as presented below.

There were only two unanimous selections this season with Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith and Florida tight end Kyle Pitts both representing the SEC. The two most explosive offensive playmakers this season combined to score 29 touchdowns from scrimmage. Both are finalists for the Biletnikoff Award given to the nation's best receiver -- Pitts the first tight end in history to obtain that distinction -- while Smith has moved into favorite status for the Heisman Trophy. Smith is also a CBS Sports All-America selection as an all-purpose player.

In total, 32 programs are represented across the two teams of 54 total selections. Alabama leads the way with 10 total selections and eight first-teamers, somehow more than they received in the preseason despite Jaylen Waddle (who accounted for three preseason picks) missing most of the season due to injury. No other team has more than three total selections (Florida, Ohio State, Miami) or two first-team picks (Florida, Notre Dame).

Six SEC teams are represented among the league's total of 17 selections, while nine ACC teams (including Notre Dame this season) make up the league's 13 picks.
