B1G 10 Penalties/Officiating stats

B1G 2024 Penalties per team

The link is to a Google Sheet I put together showing B1G play for all of 2024.
When the team in column A played a team in row 2, the team in row 2 had 'X' penalties that game. Sums are at the bottom and far right.

1) Iowa was the most disciplined (or favored by refs) team with 26 penalties for 257 yards.
2) UCLA was the least disciplined (or disfavored by refs) with 75 penalties for 617 yards.
3) Ohio St's opponents were called for the fewest penalties when playing them with 27 for 231. Were the refs gunning for Ohio St. to lose and trying to help their opponents?
4) Maryland's opponents were called for the most penalties when playing them with 62 for 562. Were the refs trying to help Maryland?

What I'm really saying is that I hear a lot of "THE BIG 10 REFS ARE HORRIBLE! THEY ARE SCREWING US OVER...", but the data is what it is. UCLA, Maryland, Nebraska and Wisconsin were the least disciplined teams during conference play based on the stats. Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio State were the most disciplined teams.

Feel free to share your thoughts on this.

I agree we need to be more disciplined but it wasn't the amount of penalties this year but the when/how

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

Here’s the thing… you could show me a spreadsheet that shows that everybody had an equal amount of penalties and it wouldn’t show us anything.
If one team holds 30 times a game and doesn’t get called for it and both teams end the game with 8 penalties against them, was it called fairly?

If both teams were called for 8 penalties but one teams penalties were BS and called during pivotal points of the game, was it called fairly?

 

[HuskerHusaria]

Doesn't show a ranking of whom was most penalized by big 10 refs.

If we had the crew from the Bowl, people would understand the flags and be okay with it.

 

[HuskerHusaria]

Also, if we had this crew through the season, we have a more correct W/L record.

 

[redwine65]

basicly the refs don't want a team beating michigan or ohio state..so your probably going to have to score 7-10 extra points just to cover that...

 

[HuskerHusaria]

Anyone know what conference this crew was from?

 

[mthskrdoc]

SEC

I think you may have missed this in the OP:
"Ohio St's opponents were called for the fewest penalties when playing them with 27 for 23"

right, the flags just come out if the game is close..good point

Problem with OP/ fans like you . You see the stats after the game and see penalties were even or close to and you think the game was call fair/ equal. That’s not how it works all the time .

Calling Iowa most disciplined due to penalties called against them is suspect. Iowa and Wisconsin get away with a crap ton of offensive holding penalties not being called. Carry on.

 

[Walleye79]

It’s not always penalties. NU literally had a first down wipes away with officials spotting the ball almost 2 yards incorrectly against the bucknuts and the officials in the booth doubled down and did not call for a review. It’s not always 100% penalties

To be fair the person calling you out dropped out of 8th grade and screwing with his narrative is verboten.

You are an idiot... Nebraska got jobbed more times than I have ever seen this year. It is the no calls as well. The refs sucked horribly this year and I am tired of idiots like you that act like they don't play a part in changing the momentum of a game.

Our head coach failed to challenge said play and allowed our OC to operate as if we were on the .5 yard line

Incompetence abounds

Only you would blame a blatent f up by the refs solely on the coach.

The whole scenario was hard to guage for a viewer, because no one knew what was going on cause the refs were so bad in that situation. It is on Matt Rhule though becsuse he needs to play God for folks like you

DBs holding, OL holding, incorrect spotting of the ball, inexplicable reviews, etc. all not going to show up in your data analysis.

 

[SomedayHusker]

Now do a spreadsheet with a point system for how bogus or legit each flag was and whether or not they scored/prevented scores on drives. I’m not knocking your spreadsheet by the way, this is a good start.

Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio State were the least penalized or the “most disciplined”. (lol) Hit me up when a non traditional/original B1G member makes that list. I won’t hold my breath…

It’s amusing how Wisconsin suddenly stopped being “disciplined” right around the time the league no longer had commissioners who spent the better part of their day kissing Barry Alvarez’s butt.
