Best player on the #1 team + 7 ints

SEC fans downplay the interception total like its normal. But how many college linebackers have had 7 ints? I would think its quite rare

It's a individual award not a team award.

It didn't matter that Baylor had 3 loses last year. It shouldn't matter ND is undefeated this year

All I want is a legitimate argument.

The number 1 player on the #1 team plus 7ints just isn't enough to be considered the best player in CFB
