Johnny Manziel adds First Team All-American to his 2012 accomplishments. (US Presswire)

The Associated Press released its 2012 All-America teams and to the surprise of nobody, the SEC leads the way with 22 players on the three teams. Who else made it? Well, obviously the guy up there holding the Heisman Trophy has a prominent place on the first team, but he's got some other great players surrounding him.

You can also compare it to our CBSSports.com All-America Team. Just know that wherever there's a difference, ours is the right one.
