I'm not arguing here or disagreeing with any picks but what makes anyone think the media knows better than the coaches who the best players are?

Maybe the coaches don't just look at numbers??? - they have watched these guys play on tape over and over and over again - Personally, I'm glad they have both a coaches and media team, it gives more guys a chance to be called all SoCon -
