The 1893 college football season was the season of American football played among colleges and universities in the United States during the 1893–94 academic year.
The 1893 Princeton Tigers football team, led by captain Thomas Trenchard, compiled a perfect 11–0 record, outscored opponents by a total of 270 to 14, and has been recognized as the national champion by the Billingsley Report, Helms Athletic Foundation, Houlgate System, and National Championship Foundation.[1][2] Despite Yale's loss to Princeton, one selector (Parke H. Davis) recognized the Bulldogs as the national champion.
All eleven players selected by Caspar Whitney and Walter Camp to the 1893 All-America college football team came from the Big Three (Princeton, Yale, and Harvard). Seven of the honorees have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame: quarterback Philip King, fullback Charley Brewer (Harvard), end Frank Hinkey (Yale), tackle Marshall Newell (Harvard), tackle Langdon Lea (Princeton), guard Art Wheeler (Princeton), and guard Bill Hickok (Yale).
New programs established in 1893 included Boston College, LSU, Oregon State, Texas, and Washington State.
