  • Due to events related to World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic, the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association did not schedule any official conference games, recorded no standings, and awarded no title for 1918. Additionally, Missouri canceled their season.

The 1918 Washington University Pikers football team was an American football team that represented Washington University in St. Louis as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference during the 1918 college football season. In its second season under head coach R. B. Rutherford, the team compiled a perfect 6–0 record and won the Missouri Valley Conference S.A.T.C. championship.[1]
