For the year 1932, the NCAA recognizes eight published All-American teams as "official" designations for purposes of its consensus determinations. The following chart identifies the NCAA-recognized consensus All-Americans and displays which first-team designations they received.
TR = Ted A. Ramsay, an attempt to create a consensus All-American team using the selections of the six most prominent selectors: the All-America Board, NEA, UP, AP, New York Sun and New York World. Three players, Moss, Kurth and Newman were unanimously selected by all six.[16]
^The NCAA does not recognize Lawrence Ely as a consensus first-team All-American even though he had three official first-team designations; Clarence Gracey is recognized as the consensus center although he received only two first-team designations.
