Notes

  1. There is a discrepancy in contemporaneous reports as to whether Michigan scored 43 or 44 points against Syracuse, the difference being whether Dave Allerdice converted five or six of his extra point attempts. The Chicago Daily Tribune reported on the day after the game that Allerdice had missed two extra point attempts. While accounts differ, the University of Michigan records the final score as 44–0. According to the Bentley Historical Library, the initial report from The Michigan Daily gave the result as 43–0, but the Daily corrected the score several days later to 44–0. Further, the Michigan athletic department's own "Dope Books", the official listing of results and letterwinners, records the score as 44–0.
