The expansion of the College Football Playoff has prompted a shift in how The Associated Press constructs its all-bowl team. To address the disparity between players participating in various bowl games, the AP has introduced two distinct postseason all-star teams: one for non-playoff bowl game participants and another for those in the playoffs.
For the non-CFP AP All-Bowl team, the offensive lineup features two running backs, three wide receivers, and an all-purpose player. The defensive side includes four defensive linemen and four linebackers, accommodating different defensive schemes.
