A member of the Southern Conference (SoCon), Georgia Tech was coached by William Alexander in his eighth year as head coach, compiling a record of 8–1–1 (7–0–1 SoCon) and outscoring opponents 125 to 39. Georgia Tech played its home games at Grant Field. In what was considered the best Georgia Tech season since 1918, the Tornado shared the SoCon title with the Tennessee Volunteers and NC State Wolfpack. Tech clinched the SoCon in the season's final game: upsetting rival Georgia's previously undefeated "dream and wonder team" which was nonetheless picked as a national champion by some selectors.e. g. http://wilson.engr.wisc.edu/rsfc/oth_sites/rate/berryman-champs.pdf QPRS American College Football National Champions (1920-2013) Clyde Berryman Coach Alexander notably instituted "The Plan" to beat the rival Bulldogs; for weeks saving his regulars for practice. The Tornado also upset the Alabama Crimson Tide, handing the Tide their first loss in over two seasons. One researcher ranks Tech as the year's best Southern defense. Tech suffered its only loss to Notre Dame, and held Vanderbilt to a scoreless tie. Before the season Tech was coming off the weakest season in coach William Alexander's tenure.
