1899: Sewanee 12-0

Oct. 21 Sewanee 12 @Georgia 0
Oct. 23 Sewanee 32 @Georgia Tech 0
Oct. 28 Sewanee 46 Tennessee 0
Nov. 3 Sewanee 54 Southwestern 0
Nov. 9 Sewanee 12 @Texas 0
Nov. 10 Sewanee 10 @Texas A&M 0
Nov. 11 Sewanee 23 @Tulane 0
Nov. 13 Sewanee 34 @LSU 0
Nov. 14 Sewanee 12 @Ole Miss 0
Nov. 20 Sewanee 71 Cumberland 0
Nov. 30 Sewanee 11 @Auburn 10
Dec. 2 Sewanee 5 @North Carolina 0

12-0, with 5 road game shutouts in 6 days.

The Tulane game of this year was forfeited during the game due to Tulane having fielded an ineligible player

SIAA officials found that a Tulane player had received a telegram during the dead period.

Was this a school or just a group of dudes from the local gym?
Southern Athletic Club was a gym, I think mostly for boxing back then. It wasn't a school I don't believe.
