He doesn't deserve to be invited? That's a new one. He has 100+ tackles, 8 turnovers, and leader of the #1 team in the country and the #1 (or #2?) defense in the country.
If you flipped him to offense and he were a QB with very good to exceptional stats (which his are for a ILB), and he were on an undefeated #1 team, he'd be a lock to win the award.
He deserves to be there, especially in a down year.
I'm trying to discern whether the backlash against Te'o is because he plays defense or because he plays for ND.

As I stated earlier in the thread. I like Te'o a lot. I also respect ND and am far from a ND hater. The only argument in his favor is that it is indeed a down year. However, whatever the award is for "best player", "MVP", "most outstanding" he is none of those things. He's not even the best LB.
I'm not against defensive players winning it, I wanted Woodson to win over Manning and Suh to win the year he was up for it. But if you are going to win it as a defensive player you better be something truly special and Te'o just isn't that. He's a very good linebacker but there are Manti Te'o's every year in college football.

Arguing about the Heisman is as close to pointless as you can get, but what does this have to do with being the outstanding player in CFB?
