Great players make for great teams. Well, not always.
Elite talent is spread across college football, and some of the top players at their positions are on teams that struggle.
Consider this: five players on The Associated Press All-America first or second teams were at schools with losing records.
In that spirit, let's take a look at some great players on not-so-great teams:
WR David Bell, Purdue
With his knack for making the difficult catches as well as the easy ones, Bell is among the most dependable receivers in the country. He started all six games as the Boilermakers went 2-4 in their pandemic-shortened season, and he finished with 53 catches for 625 yards and eight touchdowns.
