There was no contemporaneous system in 1921 for determining a national champion. However, California was retroactively named as the national champion for 1922 by the Billingsley Report (using its alternative "margin of victory" methodology) and Houlgate System, and as a co-national champion by the National Championship Foundation and Jeff Sagarin.[3]
California end Harold "Brick" Muller was a consensus first-team selection to the 1922 All-America college football team.[4] Additionally, Cal took eight of eleven spots on the United Press' 1922 All-Pacific Coast football team: quarterback Charles F. Erb; halfback Donald Nichols; fullback Jesse B. Morrison; ends Harold Muller and Robert A. Berkey; tackle Stewart A. Beam; and guards Webster V. Clark and Leo Calland.[5] A ninth Cal player, center Prink Callison, was named to the All-Pacific Coast team by George Bertz.[6]
