There was no contemporaneous system in 1914 for determining a national champion. However, Texas was retroactively named as the national champion by the Billingsley Report using its alternate "margin of victory" methodology. Other selectors chose Army or Illinois as the national champion.[3]

Guard Louis Jordan was selected by Walter Camp as a second-team player on the 1914 All-America college football team.[4]
