Thank you for your participation in the polling / voting for the All-Saban Era Team over the last 2 months. Voting is completed for every position, and below is the final 1st and 2nd Offensive and Defensive teams and Special Teams voted by the Tide Illustrated Champions Lounge members. In an Era of success that will be extremely difficult to ever replicate by another college program, I thought that it would be wise to take time out to vote on and recognize the great football players who highly contributed to the success of this program over the last 17 years. These were the best of the best - our All-Saban Era team!
