LSU tops the SEC.
Shocked that the highest ranked SEC school is 5th.
For decades the SEC had the fastest defenses & best athletes.
Would have thought their DB's would have dominated the Top 5

Team have to throw the ball

FSU played alot of weird independent teams

USC played PAC teams. I guess that’s why UCLA and ASU are also high, western teams would throw it

Oklahoma had good defenses but the Big8 and early big12 was a run heavy conference (well atleast the good teams ran the ball)

What ?
These are NFL Interceptions.
Interceptions in the NFL made by players from said Colleges.

If I understand this correctly, I feel like this likely just shows the quantity and longevity of careers of (mostly) starters in the NFL from the colleges represented, no?

For instance, Tom Brady had 212 career interceptions, representing nearly 40% of the total listed for Michigan, while still being regarded as the best to ever play.

So, basically, this chart is stupid.

No, Basically you are stupid.
This is total number of Interceptions made by players from said Colleges,
To people that aren't morons it is a reflection of the quality/number of DB's produced by said Colleges.
If you're still too stupid to understand this chart then you can't be helped.

What?
This is a chart of NFL Interceptions MADE by players from said Colleges.
Not interceptions thrown by QB's from said Colleges,

Holy crap, it's hilarious how many people are struggling to understand this simple chart.

I understand what you're saying now. Thanks for the clarification.

But nowhere in the chart does it say thrown or intercepted.

The chart is ambiguous. Next time, maybe explain exactly what you're posting if you're going to throw shite up there like this with no additional context.

OSU has had some elite DBs over the years. I thought LSU would have been higher. They’ve also put out some great DBs

Pretty crazy how many Ohio State is #1 has considering they really don't have any guys at the very top of the career interception list. Tops for OSU is Dave Tatum at 37 interceptions and ranks tied for 104th with 15 other players.

Anyone with an IQ over 60 didn't need clarification.
In the future I will try to dumb it down for the mouth breathers

I feel like the SEC didn't start dominating the DB and cornerback positions until the last 20 or 30 years

Tom Brady (1995–1999)
Total interceptions: 212

Jim Harbaugh (1982–1986)
Total interceptions: 117

Chad Henne (2004–2007)
Total interceptions: 63

Brian Griese (1994–1997)
Total interceptions: 49

Elvis Grbac (1989–1992)
Total interceptions: 48

Todd Collins (1989–1994)
Total interceptions: 36

Drew Henson (1998–2000)
Total interceptions: 1

I may be missing some Michigan QBs but what I have above totals up to 526 interceptions. Only 17 shy of the number listed in that chart. It's hardly farfetched to think the chart was referring to QBs.

And given that the majority of the replies to your ambiguous bullshite were along the same lines of thinking as mine, I once again urge you to provide context next time jackass.

Ohio State is ranked number 1 on this list.
I can only think of a handful of OSU quarterbacks that played in the NFL, let alone enough to lead in All Time Interceptions in the NFL and make me think that the list was referring to interceptions thrown.
I didn't create the chart, but it was obvious to me and anyone else with a brain that they were referring to Interceptions MADE and not THROWN.
But I know simple things can be complicated for stupid people.

Stop being an arse. The others are right. This chart needed some context.
