I'll be honest and say that I don't even think it's very close between Few and Collins. With Gonzaga finally making the final 4 I think he takes it in a runaway. What Few has done over multiple years to build that program up to prominence and maintain it, in an NCAA that is so incredibly skewed against mid majors, is pretty much impossible. Notice that no other team of the other 275 non high majors has done anything of the sort. And then not only maintain, but continue setting the bar higher, with almost no steps back.
And then this year assembling a group of role players, transfers, etc - that most thought were building blocks for next year's squad - into the best team in the country? Chris did all of that over the last 4 years... and built a team good enough to be about #30 in the country this year. He's top 3, and maybe #1. And Gonzaga backing it up against the pressure to finally make the final 4.... if Chris wins it would be a case of the NU media mafia story overriding a much better candidate.
But being NU has worked against us in the past, so if it works in our favor this time I'd take it and celebrate very happily.
