COLUMBIA, Mo. — There’s Missouri, up near the top of the Southeastern Conference with the likes of Alabama and Louisiana State.
It’s not in standings nor poll ranking, though No. 6 Mizzou is up there in that kind of stature too.
It’s in penalties — one of the rare statistics where a spot lower on the table is better.
Through every SEC team’s first two games, the Crimson Tide have the dishonorable distinction of a lead in infractions committed: 20 of them. MU and LSU are level with the second-most penalties so far, with 17 apiece.
