Then why do we always hear how it was Bama's 26 team that did this?

Because you are a Bama fan, of course. That and the Rose Bowl, which went on to have more importance than it did then.

I was wrong about Pop Warner. John Heisman was their coach. Warner coached Pitt (the other great team of 1917). I got confused. Post is edited now.

Seriously though, the Georgia Tech team is widely considered one of the greatest teams of that era, and so is their backfield. They had a hall of fame coach, and they outscored their opponents like 400-50.
