Explanation
For the most part, the BCS conference and non-BCS players voted the same way. The one major difference: small-school players like Kansas big man Cole Aldrich a lot more than their colleagues. Aldrich received two votes (out of 43) from the major conferences. But among non-BCS voters, he got a lot more love. Aldrich received six of his eight total votes here, from six different conferences. "I've played against a bunch of good big guys," said one West Coast Conference center. "Aldrich is the best I've faced. He dominates."
