It is voting time. Fans are stuffing online polls, coaches are getting their assistants to fill out ballots, and journalists are pretentiously writing stories about the ballots they will submit. This year the race is tight in the Big-12. As OSU head coach Sean Sutton puts it, "I think Kevin Durant is the best player in college basketball. But Acie may be the most valuable player to his team in the Big 12." That is a good point. NCAA, unlike the NBA, gives out an award to the best players and not the most valuable players. And we all know the type of internal struggle voters go through when they try and separate best from most valuable. I like the argument that is based on how bad the team would be if the player is removed. This prevents good players on really bad teams from getting the award, remove the player and there is not much change, they are still really bad. It also gives some extra weight to players who do not have an all-start supporting cast and who really does (I apologize in advance) make everyone else around him better.
