1918 College Football Season
The 1918 college football season was a season of college football in the United States. There was no consensus champion, with the ''Official NCAA Division I Football Records Book'' listing Michigan and Pittsburgh as national champions. World War I's impact on colleges in the country, and the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 eliminated most of that year's scheduled college football games. However, to boost morale of the troops, many military organizations fielded teams to play against collegiate programs. This is exemplified no more strongly than in a letter published in the ''Spalding Guide'' from US president Woodrow Wilson: A huge military offensive was planned by the Allied countries in the spring of 1919, so all able-bodied men of ages 18 to 20 were scheduled to be drafted in the fall of 1918. As an alternative, the men were offered the option of enlisting in the Student Army Training Corps, known as SATC, which would give them a chance to pursue (or continue pursuing) their ...
