The '''2000 College Football All-America Team''' is composed of the following All-American Teams: [[Associated Press]], [[Football Writers Association of America]], [[American Football Coaches Association]], [[Walter Camp Foundation]], ''[[The Sporting News]]'', ''[[Pro Football Weekly]]'', ''Football News'', ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' and Rivals.com.

The [[College Football All-America Team]] is an honor given annually to the best American college football players at their respective positions. The original usage of the term All-America seems to have been to such a list selected by football pioneer Walter Camp in the 1890s. The [[NCAA]] officially recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine Consensus All-Americans.
