Oklahoma's Kyler Murray and Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa lead the way for the USA TODAY Sports All-America teams for 2018, which include heavy representation from the four teams set to compete in this month's College Football Playoff national semifinals.

Nine players from Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame and Oklahoma earned first-team honors, led by Murray at quarterback and two teammates from the Sooners' record-setting offense. Among this group were two Clemson defensive linemen, Clelin Ferrell and Christian Wilkins, and two stars from the Alabama defense.
