1903 College Football All-Southern Team

The 1903 College Football All-Southern Team consists of American football players selected to the College Football All-Southern Teams selected by various organizations for the 1903 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season.

Both John Heisman and Reynolds Tichenor selected teams. Fuzzy Woodruff relates: "The first selections that had any pretense of being backed by a judicial consideration were made by W. Reynolds Tichenor, old-time Auburn quarterback, who had kept in intimate contact with football through being a sought-after official. The next selections were made by John W. Heisman, who was as good a judge of football men as the country ever produced."

So did Nash Buckingham, former captain of the Tennessee Volunteers football team.

Reynolds Tichenor's eleven as posted in Fuzzy Woodruff's A History of Southern Football includes:

Bold = consensus choice by a majority of the selectors

† = Unanimous selection

H = selected by John Heisman, coach at Clemson University.

WRT = selected by W. R. Tichenor.

NB = selected by former Tennessee player Nash Buckingham in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. It had substitutes, denoted with a small S.

NY = selected by a prominent New Yorker hired for the purpose.
