As you stated, it doesn't seem to matter who the coach is, what the team's record is, etc. BAMA gets penalized less BY FAR than LSU.

Actually, it goes farther than this. If you look prior to 2002 at BOTH Alabama and Auburn, their penalties are similar to the rest of the SEC teams. Begining in 2002, both of these teams' penalties nosedive as compared to the rest of the SEC. Guess who arrived in 2002...none other than Mike Slive. Since then Alabama and Auburn have consistantly had fewer penalties than all of the other SEC teams. This is almost statistically impossible. We all see the holds...they just don't get called...why not?...the head of the SEC does not want them to be called.

Would be really be interesting to follow the money trail for some of these SEC office folks and referees.all all
