Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Tulane's game against Miami counted in the SEC standings.
  2. ^ The home game versus Duke was originally scheduled for October 3, but postponed to the end of the season due to the approach of Hurricane Hilda, which made landfall in Louisiana just before the original scheduled kickoff time.
