Don't thin I would count xavier or the A10 a mid major - it was only a couple of years ago the conference ended the season with the number 1 team in st. joes and 2 teams in the final 8.
forgot to add back to back natonal players of the year in nelson from sju and west from xavier
I basically meant "non-BCS" guys. I don't like the term "mid-major" in general--it's too ambiguous.
