GREENSBORO, N.C. - Four Florida State Seminoles head up the list of six consensus 1999 All-Americans from the Atlantic Coast Conference. Florida State led all Division I-A teams with four players earning consensus recognition - wide receiver Peter Warrick, placekicker Sebastian Janikowski, offensive lineman Jason Whitaker and defensive lineman Corey Simon. Warrick and Janikowski were two of eight unanimous All-America selections.

The ACC, with six consensus All-Americans, was second only to the Big Ten's seven for most consensus All-Americans in 1999. The SEC had four consensus All-Americans followed by the Pac-10 and the Big 12 with three players each. The Big East, Mountain West and Conference USA each had one consensus All-American.

To earn consensus All-America status a player must be named on at least four All-America teams or three teams with a majority of the votes at his position. The six organizations recognized for consensus All-American consideration are the Associated Press Football Writers (FBWA) the American Football Coaches (AFCA), The Sporting News The Football News and the Walter Camp team.

Over the past three years the ACC has produced 17 consensus All-Americans, more than any other conference. The Big Ten is second with 16, followed by the Big 12 (15) and the SEC with 14.
