The SEC has a message for fans: If you’re going to complain about officiating, make sure to get your facts straight.
SEC communications director Chuck Dunlap responded to an angry Tennessee fan on Twitter on Tuesday who complained about preferential treatment for defending national champion Alabama.
Dunlap didn’t agree — and he had the numbers to back it up.
@UT_BOGUSS Alabama is the 5th most penalized team in SEC. Their opponents are the least penalized. The more you know...

For the record, SEC refs have flagged Alabama 38 times this season.
