On the heels of the SEC releasing their 2014 Preseason All-SEC Football Teams on Thursday, Saturday Down South has compiled our own list of the best. This All-SEC team has nothing to do with football performance though. It has everything to do with what your momma gave you: a name. While there is no guarantee these players will see the field this season, their names will be seen for their uniqueness. Kentucky placed a league-leading 9 representatives on the team, including 4 on the first team.
