Helping Georgia Tech's claim to a title in 1917, the [[1917 Auburn Tigers football team|Auburn Tigers]] held undefeated, [[Chic Harley]]-led Big Ten champion [[1917 Ohio State Buckeyes football team|Ohio State]] to a scoreless tie the week before Georgia Tech beat the Tigers 68 to 7. The next season, with many players gone due to World War I, a game was finally scheduled at [[Forbes Field]] with [[1918 Pittsburgh Panthers football team|Pittsburgh]]. The Panthers, led by freshman [[Tom Davies (American football)|Tom Davies]], defeated [[1918 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team|Georgia Tech]] 32 to 0. Tech center [[Bum Day]] was the first player on a Southern team ever selected first-team All-American by [[Walter Camp]].

1917 saw the rise of another Southern team in [[Centre Colonels football|Centre]] of [[Danville, Kentucky]]. In 1921 [[Bo McMillin]]-led [[1921 Centre Praying Colonels football team|Centre]] upset defending national champion Harvard [[1921 Centre vs. Harvard football game|6 to 0]] in what is widely considered one of the greatest upsets in college football history. The next year Vanderbilt fought Michigan to a [[1922 Michigan vs. Vanderbilt football game|scoreless tie]] at the inaugural game at [[Dudley Field]] (now Vanderbilt Stadium), the first stadium in the South made exclusively for college football. Michigan coach [[Fielding Yost]] and Vanderbilt coach [[Dan McGugin]] were brothers-in-law, and the latter the protégé of the former. The game featured the season's two best defenses and included a goal line stand by Vanderbilt to preserve the tie. Its result was "a great surprise to the sporting world".<ref>{{cite news|title=Football Squads Begin practice|newspaper=The Kingsport Times|date=September 14, 1923}}</ref> Commodore fans celebrated by throwing some 3,000 seat cushions onto the field.

Vanderbilt's line coach then was [[Wallace Wade]], who coached [[Alabama Crimson Tide football|Alabama]] to the South's first [[1926 Rose Bowl|Rose Bowl]] victory in 1925. This game is commonly referred to as "the game that changed the south".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cptr.ua.edu/news/roses.htm |title=The Football Game That Changed the South |publisher=The University of Alabama |access-date=October 6, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080526010552/http://www.cptr.ua.edu/news/roses.htm |archive-date=May 26, 2008}}</ref> Wade followed up the next season with an undefeated record and [[1927 Rose Bowl|Rose Bowl]] tie. Georgia's 1927 "[[1927 Georgia Bulldogs football team|dream and wonder team]]" [[1927 Georgia vs. Yale football game|defeated]] [[Yale Bulldogs football|Yale]] for the first time. Georgia Tech, led by Heisman protégé [[William Alexander (coach)|William Alexander]], gave the dream and wonder team its only loss, and the next year were national and [[1929 Rose Bowl|Rose Bowl]] champions. The Rose Bowl included [[Roy Riegels]]' wrong-way run. On October 12, 1929, Yale lost to Georgia in [[Sanford Stadium]] in its first trip to the south. Wade's Alabama again won a national championship and [[1931 Rose Bowl|Rose Bowl]] in 1930.
