re: Don't look now, but Bama's opponents are being penalized less than any other

Bama gets called more because they hold more.

The "bama never gets called for holding" meme exists because the ratio of called/uncalled holds is very lopsided in favor of uncalled.

This isnt because of any ref bias in favor of bama, mind you. Refs just don't typically like to call holding and Bama takes advantage of that.
