Teams other than Vanderbilt had a chance to win a title, and newspapers covered football more than the World Series for the first time.[1]
Fuzzy Woodruff says the Southern newspapers began to cover football more than the World Series.[1] The Auburn Tigers won the conference, posting an undefeated, 8–0 record. Auburn captain Kirk Newell was later a hero of World War I. The 1913 Tigers were retroactively recognized as a national champion by the Billingsley Report's alternative calculation which considers teams' margin of victory.[n 1] Auburn does not claim the title.
Tennessee won its first SIAA game since 1910. Ole Miss was suspended from SIAA play.
