There was no contemporaneous system in 1895 for determining a national champion. However, Yale was retroactively named as the co-national champion by Parke H. Davis.[2] Most selectors designated Penn (perfect 14–0 record) as the national champion for 1895; Yale and Penn did not play during the 1895 season.

Two Yale players were selected as consensus first-team players on the 1895 All-America team. The team's consensus All-Americans were: halfback Sam Thorne and tackle Fred T. Murphy.[3]
