Method
- Every defender who played in the MAC since 2004, ranked by interceptions over his games there while his school was a member. Bowl and playoff games count.
- Tackles and sacks are only recorded since 2024, so the defenders are ranked by interceptions. A defender is in a box score only in a game he has a stat in, so his games aren’t counted.
- The numbers here start in 2004, so a defender who played in the MAC before then isn't here.
