re: 101st anniversary of the largest victory in college football history

They also lost to Sewanee 107 - 0 that same year.

Noboby could schedule anybody because CFB was so young. Sewanee was a power then and a charter member of the SEC.

Teams were playing their own alumni or local athletic clubs.

In 1916 the Pac-12 conference (PCC) was 4 teams...Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Cal.

SEC wasn't established until 1932. Sewanee was a charter member of the SEC, but it lasted only eight years with an 0-37 record in SEC games. It now resides in Division III. "The NCAA does not recognize an SEC national champion until Tennessee’s 1951 title."

The Big 12 was the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MVIAA) - with it's members being Mizzou, Kansas, Nebraska, Washington University (in St. Louis) and Iowa.
