In the annual Rose Bowl game, the SoCon champion Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the PCC champion Washington State 24–0 and claims a national championship. It was Wallace Wade's last year as Alabama head coach.

Tulane was also co-champion. Times-Picayune sports writer Pete Baird called the 1930 squad "the best team that ever represented the Olive and Blue".
