Georgia made news this offseason bv not making news.

No arrests. No positive drug tests. No suspensions. That we know of. (A necessary qualifier.)

I wanted to get that out there before sharing this: According to the website ArrestNation.com, the Bulldogs rank third in arrests over the last five years among college football programs with 22, trailing Washington State (31) and (24). This came up now because former San Jose Mercury News reporter Mike Rosenberg compiled data from the website and found that the 11 of 14 SEC teams rank among the top 25 in college football teams with the most arrests.

Following are the SEC and ACC football teams that are ranked among the nation’s top 50-plus by arrests in the last five years (national ranking in parenthesis)

• (2) SEC/Florida, 24

(3) SEC/Georgia, 22

• (3) SEC/Texas A&M, 22

• (6) SEC/Missouri, 20

• (6) SEC/Mississippi, 20

• (10)) ACC/Florida State, 19

• (10) SEC/Tennessee, 19

• (12) SEC/Alabama, 18

• (12) SEC/Kentucky, 18

• (15) SEC/LSU, 16

• (15) ACC/Pittsburgh, 16

• (19) SEC/Arkansas, 14

• (23) SEC/Auburn, 13

• (28) SEC/Mississippi State, 11

• (33) ACC/Virginia Tech, 10

• (39) SEC/South Carolina, 9

• (49), ACC/Louisville, 7

• (49) ACC/Miami, 7

• (49) ACC/North Carolina, 7

Here’s the top-50 with ties:

The site also lists Georgia Southern has having eight football players arrested since 2012 (ranking 43rd) and Georgia Tech as having just one football player arrested since 2012 (Corey Alford).

For those who want to claim, “Well, you have to recruit some bad kids to win,” here’s a chart from Rosenberg with wins-per-arrest ratios:

Northern Illinois: The standard for excellence.

Washington State: You’ve got problems.
