Georgia, Vandy, and LSU all played games.
Lots of people like to point to that as some sort of "unpatriotic act", except Georgia and LSU played with freshmen (too young for the draft) and transfers...
Vandy played 5 games, but with no SEC opponents.
Tech filled out their complete 10 game schedule, but this was because they actually had a real team. There was a naval training initiative called V12 designed to get more college educated officers... those players largely consisted of players that would otherwise have still been playing for other top programs (including Bama, Clemson, and Vandy among others).
UGA (at least last I checked) does not count the 43 and 44 games against Tech.
Unsure about Tulane...
