The 1926 College Football All-Southern Team consists of American football players selected to the College Football All-Southern Teams selected by various organizations for the 1926 Southern Conference football season. Alabama won the Southern and national championship. ==Composite eleven== The All-Southern eleven compiled by the Associated Press included: *Red Barnes, quarterback for Alabama, professional baseball outfielder with Washington Senators and the Chicago White Sox. *John Barnhill, tackle for Tennessee, later head coach at his alma mater. *Herschel Caldwell, end for Alabama, made the extra point to tie Stanford in the Rose Bowl.〔"Stanford and Alabama Play Tie," ''The Oakland Tribune'', January 2, 1927, p D-1; http://www.rosebowlhistory.org〕 Caldwell was called by one source "one of the greatest defensive backs the South has produced in years." He later assisted coach Wallace Wade at Duke University. *Gordon Holmes, center for Alabama, got a case of appendicitis en route to the Rose Bowl while in El Paso, and was left there with the idea of Babe Pearce filling in for Holmes. Holmes let his doctors know he would catch the next train to Pasadena. *Curtis Luckey, tackle for Georgia, known in his time as one of the best linemen in the South. *Charles Mackall, guard and captain for Virginia, led the Southern Conference in field goals in 1926 with four. He won the Virginia state amateur golf championship in 1927.〔 〕 *George Morton, halfback for Georgia. In the rivalry game at Grant Field with Georgia Tech, Georgia found itself down 13 to 0 at the half.
