The 1923 college football season saw several teams finish their seasons unbeaten and untied. As such, numerous schools claim a national championship for the 1923 season. Illinois (coached by Bob Zuppke) and Michigan (coached by Fielding "Hurry-Up" Yost), both members of what is now the Big Ten Conference, finished with records of 80 and were selected as national champion by multiple selectors. Illinois featured break-out star Red Grange.[1][2] Ivy League teams Yale and Cornell also had undefeated seasons. Cornell was selected as national champion by one selector.

Southern Methodist University (SMU) had a record of 90, thanks to coach Ray Morrison bringing the forward pass to the southwest.[3] Teams that had no defeats, but had been tied, were California (901), Texas (801), and Kansas (503).

In the 1924 Rose Bowl, Washington tied Navy 1414.
