Ed. note: Chat Sports has conducted a full simulation of the upcoming college football season in the hot new game EA Sports NCAA Football ’14. Be sure to check back here for more results, as well as game reviews.
Ohio State earned a national-best seven First-Team All-American's in a Chat Sports simulation of the 2013 college football season in the game EA Sports NCAA Football '14.
Three-fifths of the Buckeye's offensive line - senior tackle Jack Mewhort, senior guard Andrew Norwell and senior center Corey Linsley - all earned first-team nods, as did senior running back Carlos Hyde on offense.
On defense, junior tackle Joel Hale and sophomore linebacker Joshua Perry were named to the first team, as was senior kicker Drew Basil.
Junior quarterback Braxton Miller was named Second-Team All-American behind Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, and was joined by junior defensive tackle Michael Bennett. Oddly, Miller actually finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting, ahead of Manziel but behind winner De'Anthony Thomas of Oregon.
