The 1887 college football season had no clear-cut champion, with the Official NCAA Division I Football Records Book listing Yale as having been selected national champions.[1] In the West, the 1887 Michigan Wolverines football team compiled a 5â0 record, including three wins over Notre Dame (who was playing its first game ever and did not have a varsity team yet [2]), and outscored its opponents by a combined score of 102 to 10.[3]
