I think Mayfield deserved it. His numbers were ridiculous, and he's led his team to the CFP.

True. His on-field results are amazing and certainly merit the award.

Yes, he did some dumb things, but I think he's been publicly excoriated for it, had his captaincy revoked, and I believe he apologized.

Sorry, I can't agree. I think his behavior should disqualify him from even being considered. Saying he did "Dumb things" buys into the idea that he made "bad choices". Some of his actions are things that you absolutely never are permitted to do. Resisting arrest is never a "choice". You just don't do it, period. No thinking or choosing required. It is not picking stocks to buy. The fact he got the charge reduced, probably because of "who he is", compounds the travesty.

Compared to Johnny Football, he's a saint.

I call that damning with faint praise  :). Seriously, given all the really upstanding people in college football, why do we ever grant honors to one who is not?
