There’s good news and bad news for the Big Ten. The good news is that it had three teams show up in a top-25 poll. The bad news is that top-25 poll ranks college football teams by total number of player arrests in the last five years.

Mike Rosenberg compiled this data of arrests in each program, which has Iowa at No. 12, and Michigan and Purdue tied for 19th.

Cory Jarrell came up with a different look at college football arrests. Michigan State was No. 2 in the country with 7.57 wins/arrest while Nebraska, Ohio State and Penn State all cracked the top 25.
