here are more stats from cfbstats.com - College Football Statistics.
these are interesting--arguably the 3 best teams in the league last year are at the bottom. what can it all mean? normally i put penalties down to bad coaching. i guess the top teams have the talent to overcome mistakes?

oh, and congrats to the Bammers for playing clean football.

We had some bad ones at bad times. The same with turnovers. JPW fumbled the ball inside his own five twice against LSU & FSU late in the gameto give those games away. He gave MSU 7 points on a bonehead INT to close the 1st half to stink that one away and threw a pick to a UL-M guy who returned it to the one for an easy TD. The the INT against da barn to close the 1st half stank (though that was probably more DJ Halls fault).

Interesting, I knew penalties never really killed us last season...but I didn't know we were #1 in the SEC. Feels good to win something in the SEC.

69 seems like a lot to me, for some reason. That's about 6 per game.

Edit: I just saw that it gave the averages/game.

Take away that 1st quarter of the Florida game and we almost get to 8th place.

hey look, LSU played thug football last year. Guess all the "whining" SC and other teams fan weren't seeing things after all.

Here's an interesting thought. This year, it was LSU who was the worst offender, at 62.9 ypg, and they won the NC. Last year, it was UF, at 63.4 ypg, and they won the NC. In '05, Texas had 65.5 ypg, and they won the NC; although they weren't the worst in their conference that year... they play dirty over there, and their average was actually 5th best, with Texas Tech and Colorado tying for worst with 83.4 ypg.

Moral to the story: If you want to win the NC, have between 60 and 66 yards of penalties per game.

Alabama was the least penalized, and their opponents were the most penalized.

Yeah, I was saying it feels good to win a category. Which in this case winning the category meant the least amount of penalties and yardage.
