After being overlooked by the Big 12 coaches, Ndamukong Suh was selected as first team All Big 12 by the Associated Press and the Dallas Morning News.The full list for the AP is after the jump, the DMN list hasn't been placed here, but remains at their site.

Matt Slauson and Alex Henery made the second-team AP offense.

Honorable Mentions for Nebraska include:

Lydon Murtha
Zach Potter
Nate Swift - as both a Receiver and All-Purpose
Larry Asante

Comments:

Suh, Henery, and Larry Asante will return next season. Other than Joe Ganz, Nate Swift will be the most missed player. Agree?

To be honest, I have no idea how Lydon Murtha made this list, even as Honorable Mention. The guy was injured too often if nothing else. If someone wants to defend that selection, please feel free to do so.

Coach of the Year Honors went to Mike Leach, as opposed to the Big 12 Coaches who gave it to Bob Stoops. Leach is a much better choice.

Offensive player of the year went to Colt McCoy. That's pretty fitting - it was apparent in 2007 that Texas lived or died dependent upon McCoy's play. He had a great season this year and so has Texas.

Defensive Player of the year went to Brian Orakpo from the AP, while the DMN chose Oklahoma's DT Gerald McCoy. Both are deserving, although Orakpo was just a monster all season.

Here are the AP Selections:
