The '''1914 College Football All-America team''' is composed of [[college football]] players who were selected as All-Americans for the [[1914 college football season]]. The only selectors for the 1914 season who have been recognized as "official" by the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]] (NCAA) are [[Walter Camp]], whose selections were published in ''[[Collier's Weekly]]'', and the [[International News Service]] (INS), a newswire founded by [[William Randolph Hearst]].<ref name=AW/>

Although not recognized by the NCAA, many other sports writers, newspapers, and coaches selected All-America teams in 1914. They include ''[[Vanity Fair (American magazine 1913–1936)|Vanity Fair]]'', [[Parke H. Davis]], [[Walter Eckersall]], ''[[The New York Globe]]'', the ''[[New York Herald]]'', the ''[[New York Evening Mail]]'', the ''[[The Atlanta Journal-Constitution|Atlanta Constitution]]'', the ''[[The Detroit News|Detroit Evening News]]'', ''[[The Boston Post]]'', and ''[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]''.

==Overview==
Harvard end [[Huntington Hardwick]] was the only player who was unanimously selected as a first-team All-American by all 27 selectors identified below. Other players selected as a first-team All-American by a majority of the selectors were Harvard halfback [[Eddie Mahan]] (26 selections), Harvard guard [[Stan Pennock]] (26 selections), Princeton tackle [[Harold Ballin]] (22 selections), Michigan halfback [[John Maulbetsch]] (20 selections), Cornell quarterback [[Charley Barrett]] (19 selections), and Dartmouth guard [[Clarence Spears]] (16 selections). The ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' reported that "[[Johnny Maulbetsch|Maulbetsch]], Michigan's hero, is about the only one of 1914's stars who received an almost unanimous vote."<ref>{{cite news|title=All-American and Western Football Teams Are Named|work=Los Angeles Times|date=1914-11-30}}</ref>

The chart below reflects the number of polls in which the leading candidates (any player with at least two first-team All-American designations) were selected as first-team All-Americans.
