Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ No conference members claimed a championship. Some publications dubbed North Carolina the SIAA champions for racking up a 3–0–1 road trip against SIAA opponents. Fuzzy Woodruff said Vanderbilt was the undisputed southeastern champion, but Virginia held preeminence in the entire South.
  2. ^ a b c Todd Fitch served as the interim head coach for Vanderbilt following the firing of Derek Mason in the 2020 season. He coached in one game, a 42–17 loss to Tennessee.
