There was no contemporaneous system in 1919 for determining a national champion. However, Texas A&M was retroactively named as the national champion for 1919 by the Billingsley Report (using its alternate "margin of victory" methodology) and as a co-national champion with Harvard and Notre Dame by the National Championship Foundation.[2]
