The Edmund Orgill Trophy is awarded to the winner of the annual football game between Rhodes College and Sewanee: The University of the South. The rivalry between Rhodes and Sewanee was reported by Sports Illustrated in 2012 to be "the longest continuously running rivalry in college football in the Southern United States".[1] Although the first game was played in 1899, the teams have not met in every season. The Orgill Trophy was added to the series in 1954. Rhodes currently leads the trophy series 39–30–1.
