There was no contemporaneous system in 1913 for determining a national champion. However, Chicago was retroactively named as the 1913 national champion by the Billingsley Report and as a co-national champion by Parke H. Davis.

Center Paul Des Jardien was a consensus first-team selection on the 1913 All-America college football team. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955. Other notable players on the 1913 Chicago team included halfback Nelson Norgren, quarterback Paul Russell, and end Huntington.
