Yale was ranked first in the nation by Caspar Whitney in January 1908. The team was additionally later retroactively named as the national champion by the Billingsley Report, the Helms Athletic Foundation, the Houlgate System, the National Championship Foundation, and Parke H. Davis.

Four Yale players were selected as consensus first-team players on the 1907 All-America team. The team's consensus All-Americans were: quarterback Tad Jones; fullback Ted Coy; end Clarence Alcott; and tackle Lucius Horatio Biglow.
