The 1900 College Football All-America team is composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans by various individuals. Walter Camp and Caspar Whitney are the only two individuals recognized as "official" selectors by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) The NCAA designates 15 players as "consensus" All-American for the 1900 football season. The dominance of Eastern players led to criticism over the years that the All- America selections were biased against players from the leading Western universities. Only four players were selected unanimously by Camp, Whitney, and Charles Sargent for Leslie's Weekly and George W. Orton for The Philadelphia Inquirer. The list below includes the all-American selections made by James Bloomer, Gordon Brown, Truxton Hare, and John Hallowell of Harvard and James Campbell of Columbia.
