The SEC's most penalized teams through 7 weeks

Alabama has been the best team in the SEC so far this season, but it’s also leading in one stat category that it wishes it wasn’t.

Through seven weeks, the Crimson Tide are leading the conference with 7.5 penalties per game, according to CFBStats.com, which tallies the penalties from every game each week. Those penalties have translated to 66.2 penalty yards per game for Alabama, which ranks second in the SEC behind only Georgia (67.7).

Of course, those frequent penalties haven’t slowed the Crimson Tide. They’ve opened the season with six consecutive wins, including Saturday’s victory at Texas A&M.


Auburn (7.3) and Georgia (7.2) rank second and third in penalties per game, yet both of those teams have only one loss this season.

Here is the full list showing which SEC teams are getting penalized the most:

1. Alabama 7.5 penalties per game
2. Auburn 7.3
3. Georgia 7.2
4. Vanderbilt 6.8
5. Missouri 6.5
6. Kentucky 6.5
7. South Carolina 6.5
8. Texas A&M 6.3
9. Arkansas 6.3
10. Florida 5.6
11. Ole Miss 5.4
12. LSU 5.3
13. Mississippi State 5.3
14. Tennessee 5.0

it is pretty aggravating, because we could easily do away with half of those. Lack of discipline by players. Wills jumping on the pile after the play comes to mind.

The officiating yesterday was extremely piss-poor. On the 2 point play by aTm, the pass interference should have been waved off. The ball was uncatchable. On the next play for the defensive off-sides was bull. Our guy ( I think it was Jennings), jumped into the neutral zone but got back before the snap and didn't touch the o-lineman in the process.

Yes I know, I was yelling at myself about it, and I agreed with myself on both plays! That not saying the ruffing the passing on Tua that wasn't called. Myself got very upset about that one!!

They need to clean this mess up. One of the most undisciplined teams Saban has had. I keep waiting on these coachable things to get cleaned up. This is one of the reasons I think this team can get MUCH better and if they do then look out.
