Five Badgers were good enough to earn spots on the Sporting News All Big 10 Team. Four of the five were already featured on the CBSSports.com All-America team so, this is kind of a yawner for them. Here’s the full team:

Offense

QB Denard Robinson, Sr., Michigan

RB Montee Ball, Sr., Wisconsin

RB Rex Burkhead, Sr., Nebraska

OL Ricky Wagner, Sr., Wisconsin

OL Taylor Lewan, Jr., Michigan

OL Travis Frederick, Jr., Wisconsin

OL Spencer Long, Jr., Nebraska

OL Chris McDonald, Sr., Michigan State

WR Jared Abbrederis, Jr., Wisconsin

WR Keenan Davis, Sr., Iowa

TE C.J. Fiedorowicz, Jr., Iowa

Defense

DL William Gholston, Jr., Michigan State

DL John Simon, Sr., Ohio State

DL Johnathan Hankins, Jr., Ohio State

DL Kawann Short, Sr., Purdue

LB Chris Borland, Sr., Wisconsin

LB Jonathan Brown, Jr., Illinois

LB Gerald Hodges, Sr., Penn State

CB Johnny Adams, Sr., Michigan State

Closest thing to a snub is Jacob Pedersen not being named the tight end. But why quibble? Five players is the most from any team in the conference.
