Teams other than Vanderbilt had a chance to win a title, and newspapers covered football more than the World Series for the first time.

Fuzzy Woodruff says the Southern newspapers began to cover football more than the World Series. The Auburn Tigers won the conference, posting an undefeated, 80 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. Auburn does not claim the title.

Tennessee won its first SIAA game since 1910. Ole Miss was suspended from SIAA play.
