2001 All-SEC football team


The 2001 All-SEC football team consists of American football players selected to the All-Southeastern Conference chosen by various selectors for the 2001 NCAA Division I-A football season.
The LSU Tigers won the conference, upsetting the Tennessee Volunteers 31 to 20 in the SEC Championship game. Tennessee had previously upset the preseason #1 Florida Gators 34 to 32 in a game rescheduled due to the 9/11 Attacks.

Florida led the conference with five consensus first-team All-SEC selections by both the AP and the coaches. Both LSU and Tennessee tied for second with three.
Florida quarterback Rex Grossman, the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, was voted the coaches SEC Player of the Year and AP SEC Offensive Player of the Year. Florida defensive end Alex Brown was the AP SEC Defensive Player of the Year.
