Yale started scheduling some Southern teams around 1911 ( beat VT 33-0 ) and played UVA, UNC and UGA. Yale won 10 in a row vs those Southern teams outscoring them 300-42.
Yale played Georgia from 1923-1926 going 4-0 and outscoring UGA 92-13.
From 1927-31 UGA turned it around winning 4 of 5
Harvard and UVA played 7 games between 1915 and 1936 The composite score was Harvard 329, Virginia 0

About a week before Lee surrendered the U of Alabama was burned to the ground.
A couple of faculty members met the troops to plead for what was called one of the finest libraries in the south to no avail.
Otherwise, maybe BAMA starts playing football a little sooner.

Maybe they'd be more academic too? |

From everything I've read one reason the Ivy League schools were so dominant in the early 20th century was because of winning at all costs. They suited up lots of, what then, were called ' ringers' ....kids that were not students but just athletes...very much like the ideology of the dominant powers of today. |

I really don't care about any records prior to any year where no one on earth even existed. Michigan fans brag about being the winningest program in history but if you eliminate the wins they had in the 1800's when no one else was playing, they come back to the pack. And unless you were born before 1910, I don't think any Michigan fan has witnessed an edge in the Ohio State/Michigan series.
