After our performance against Ohio U. where we did not commit a single penalty, I was curious where we were in regards to NCAA rankings for least amount of penalties. So I looked it up. To my amazement, here are the top 10 teams in terms of least amount of penalties:
With scUM and Minnesota in the wings for the top 20 (scUM ranking at 11, and Minnesota at 15)
Now normally, a team that isn't good has to be disciplined enough to have a chance of winning. But if you notice on the chart, the only teams with winning records ranked in the top 10 are all Big10 teams.
According to last year's stats, Penn St. is the only one that was consistent in penalties. Is this something that's becoming a transitional identity of the conference?
