Bama was the least penalized team in the SEC in both 2007 and 2008. LINK

Are they just well-coached to not commit penalties, or are they receiving favorable calls?
The sideline interference call on Florida just as the Gators were about to put the BCS Championship out of Bama's reach made me wonder.

Wasn't there a link somebody posted on here before the season that showed that for the past decade, Bama has been the least penalized team in the SEC by far... and their opponents committed the largest amount of penalties by far.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but it does make me scratch my head.

Couldn't possibly be due to preparation and coaching.

There was a punt return that the ref was looking right at a bama player commit a block in the back. I think it was the drive when Alabama kicked a FG to make it 20-17.

Sometimes, when you are as bigtime as Alabama, things just go your way. We are Alabama remember.

When Saban was at LSU he used an NCAA ref that worked at LSU to work practices, and teach the players what they could and couldn't get away with.

This seems pretty easy to me.
The SEC has to cheat to beat Bama.
Duh.

Yeah, the refs had not called any ticky-tacky fouls untill the one on the Gators. It's ok, the Gators beat the refs and Bama.
