In the early 1920s, Southern football was not highly regarded nationally until the University of Alabama's pivotal victory over Washington in the 1926 Rose Bowl, which significantly elevated the region's football reputation.

Despite being an underdog and initially not the first choice for the Rose Bowl invitation, Alabama's unexpected win against the highly favored, undefeated Washington team showcased Southern football's strength and potential.

The game, dubbed "The Game That Changed the South," had a profound impact, leading to increased respect and recognition for Southern teams in college football. Alabama's success in this game and subsequent achievements helped change perceptions of Southern football and contributed to the broader cultural respect for the South in athletics.
