The Division All-Stars were selected by 69 voters, including members of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC), CFL head coaches and CFL fans from across the country.
Nearly three hundred thousand player selections were cast by fans across the country through CFL.ca All-Star Balloting, presented by The Vancouver Province, Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Leader-Post, The StarPhoenix, National Post and the Montreal Gazette.
The FRC voting panel consists of representation from each CFL market and a national chapter.

Fantuz should be in BOLD where they are listed.
Other than that I find it interesting that there is a percentage of Rider fans that are calling for Hugh Charles to replace Wes Cates. But, the voters name Wes to the All-star team. Go Wes Go Riders.
BWJ
Burris over Durant. Yeah, OK!!!
Considering our kicking circumstances right now, I bet Rider fans would love to have McCallum back. I have a great fear that Sunday's game comes down to a Warren Kean/Eddie Johnson FG
Only two members of the D get recognition. No Kornegay, no Morgan, no Frazier. What does that tell you?
