re: Question about the bias of SEC refs

Best comparison would be to look at Bama and LSU penalties when looking at years Saban coached at each school.

For example, from evidence posted earlier, Sabans first year at Bama they were penalized approx. 30 times LESS than during any of Saban's LSU teams.

Saban adds another degree if control in the analysis IMO. His teams at LSU never went a year and a half without a holding call...that much I promise you.

TigerCorps.....you beat me to it. Why have all these stat guys overlooked this comparison ?
You could attribute Alabama's lack of penalties due to discipline under Saban . If that's the case why is the best (and presumed disciplined)
2003 NC team under Saban @ LSU, be penalized so much more than a 2003 Bama team thats in the midst of a period of turmoil ?

Nor does it explain how Saban's first , worst(6-6 regular season) and least disciplined team @ Bama, his 2007 team, led the SEC as the least penalized team. And what a surprise , their opponents were the most penalized. I don't care if Wiki doesn't like this data in that it includes non SEC games . It's still informative & accurate enough to be RES IPSA ......It speaks for itself!

And to those in this thread that are hell bent on proving that the 2 most cheating programs in the SEC , Alabama & Auburn , aren't getting home cooking:
Look @ both schools history of doing anything to win and you'd be naive to think that either school wouldn't take care of any geographic , demographic , nepotistic , familial or whatever advantage that they would be able to give or receive!!!!!!
