National champions

In the January 1907 edition of The Outing Magazine, Caspar Whitney ranked Yale first among the nation's teams for 1906.[17][18]

Parke H. Davis selected the team as national champions in the 1934 edition of Spalding's Official Foot Ball Guide. Later, they were also selected by the Billingsley Report.

Other selectors (Helms, NCF) chose Princeton as the national champion.[18] Yale and Princeton both finished with undefeated seasons and played each other to a 0–0 tie on November 17, 1906.[14]

Key players

The 1906 Yale Bulldogs team.

Four Yale players were among the eleven selected as consensus first-team players on the 1906 All-America team.[19] Yale's four consensus All Americans were: halfback William F. Knox; fullback Paul Veeder; end Robert Forbes; and tackle Lucius Horatio Biglow. Five other Yale players receiving All-American honors were quarterback Tad Jones, fullback Samuel F. B. Morse, center Clarence Hockenberger, end Clarence Alcott, and Arthur Brides.[20][21][22][23]

The 1906 college football season was a year of change. Following controversies in 1905 over the increase of violence and professionalism in college football, a number of rule changes were implemented in 1906. The most lasting change introduced in 1906 was the forward pass. Yale's Paul Veeder and Bob Forbes combined for one of the first important pass plays, a play described in one history of the game as follows: "The only other significant pass that season was thrown by Yale, which gained a first down that led to victory over Harvard, when Paul Veeder threw thirty yards to Bob Forbes."[24]

This ranking is not based only on comparative scores, but on style of play, conditions under which games were contested, relative importance of games on the schedule—especially with regard to each teams's "big" game, for which it was particularly trained—as well as the season's all-round record of the elevens under discussion.
