  • $ – Conference champion
  • There were several SIAA schools that did not field a team due to World War I.

John Heisman's Georgia Tech team won the conference and was the South's first consensus national champion. Tech captain Walker Carpenter and halfback Everett Strupper were the first players from the Deep South ever selected for an All-America first-team. Tech quarterback Albert Hill led the nation in scoring. Though Centre did not claim a championship, it also posted an undefeated conference record, beginning the rise of its football program.
