When a team can commit three holdings on one play and none of them are called, why is the stat line on penalties against their opponent relevant?
It's not. But it's the only leg a Bama fan has to stand on.

refs would have had zero impact on the outcome, just like most games.

This is just as pathetic as the Bama fans who are saying the refs favored Clemson because they were Clemson. I think they favored them because they come from the pantywaist Big 12 and offense is all they know.

No, SEC refs would have called those targeting penalties and ejected Bama players.
SEC refs didn't call targeting in the case of Speedy Noil or Evan Berry.
Geez, SEC Officials even called the CBS crew and misstated the targeting rule during the one game.

Nick Saban, SEC refs were wrong: ‘Great hit’ actually was targeting
It appears that not even Nick Saban and SEC officials know the full definition of the targeting rule.
On Saturday, Alabama true freshman linebacker Mack Wilson made a gigantic hit on Texas A&M’s Speedy Noil on a kickoff return in the first quarter. People have raved over this “football hit” for the past three days.
Except that it wasn’t a “football hit.” It was an illegal hit that should have been flagged and Wilson ejected for targeting. See for yourself.
While visiting the “Monday Morning Quarterback Club” in Birmingham, Ala., Saban had this to say about the hit: “It was a great hit. I know some people made something about the fact that it was targeting, but it’s not an unprotected player. The guy’s running with the ball. So, we always tell our players that we want you to lower your target and see what you hit even when you tackle so that we don’t get in those situations. But that wasn’t a foul because it was not an unprotected player.”
The problem is that it doesn’t have to be an unprotected or defenseless player for targeting to be called; it clearly states that in the rule book.
Rule 9-1-3 deals with targeting and initiating contact with the crown of the helmet. The rule states, “No player shall target and initiate contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. When in question, it is a foul.”
Rule 9-1-4 deals with targeting and initiating contact to head or neck area of a defenseless player. The rules states, “No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, fist, elbow or shoulder. When in question, it is a foul.”
It seems that everyone involved on Saturday missed this call; the refs, the booth and the replay officials in Birmingham all had a chance to get this right and they didn’t. And the proof is in the video."

If Bammer fans feel like the rules were not properly applied on Monday night, welcome to the club, because it is the SEC teams Bammer plays who are most aggrieved about no-calls that should be called by the refs.

Call it what you want dude, I'm just reporting the numbers. The only thing those stats exclude are games involving an FCS opponent
Bama opponents are literally dead last in penalties and penalty yards over the course of the season and you're sitting here talking about bias for Bama. Thats pretty sad
in SEC play Bama is #9 in opponent penalties.. Georgia, Arkansas, Florida, LSU, Miss St are all worse off.
Bama is also #25 overall in penalty yardage per game.. 44 yards/game. They are #50 in penalties/game total at 5.7 penalties/game.
Bama is also #10 overall in penalty yardage/game at home with 34.4 yards/game. While on the road/neutral they are #60 with 52.4 yards/game.
In August/September: #55, 52.0 yards/game
In October: #40, 47.0 yards/game
In November: #6, 25.5 yards/game
In December/January: #45, 54 yards/game
Games where their opponents was penalized for more yardage than they were.. USC, Ole Miss, A&M, Miss St, Florida

Not sure if has been discussed on here yet, but someone just showed me a picture of the ref that has the huge guns in a Clemson shirt with his daughter who goes to Clemson.

If true that would only be pure karma.
