Notes
[edit]- ^ a b c The game against LSU of this year was forfeited during the game due to Tulane having fielded an ineligible player. At the time that the game was declared forfeit, Tulane was leading with a score of 2–0. Due to the forfeiture, the official score was set at LSU 6, Tulane 0 by the game's referee. In addition to the forfeiture, Tulane was further sanctioned by the SIAA by being barred from fielding a team in intercollegiate play for the 1897 season.
- ^ a b The season's edition of the Battle for the Rag against LSU was originally a 22–0 victory for Tulane. The LSU Tigers protested the game to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA), and alleged that Tulane had used a professional player during the game. Several months later, the SIAA ruled the game an 11–0 forfeit in favor of LSU.
- ^ The Green Wave forfeited their victories over Ole Miss and Florida State after the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear a case on the eligibility of quarterback Jon English, which resulted in the NCAA ruling of his being ineligible due to failing to follow transfer rules being upheld.
- ^ In 1995, the NCAA found Antonio Langham guilty of receiving improper benefits after signing with an agent following the 1992 season, forcing Alabama to forfeit all games in which Langham competed, improving Tulane's record from 3–9 to 4–8.
- ^ a b Tulane hired Chris Scelfo to replace the departing Tommy Bowden as its 36th coach mid-season on December 7, 1998. The only game he coached that year was the Liberty Bowl, where he led the Green Wave to victory over Brigham Young. With the win, Tulane finished the season with a perfect 12–0 record.
- ^ a b c The team was coached by interim head coach Mark Hutson following fifth-year head coach Bob Toledo's resignation on October 18 after starting the season 2–5.
- ^ a b Interim HC Slade Nagle coached the bowl game following the departure of Willie Fritz.
