1967 All-America college football team


The 1967 All-America college football team is composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans by various organizations that chose All-America college football teams in 1967.
The NCAA recognizes six selectors as "official" for the 1967 season. They are the American Football Coaches Association, the Associated Press, the Central Press Association, the Football Writers Association of America, the Newspaper Enterprise Association, and the United Press International. Four of the six teams were selected by polling of sports writers and/or broadcasters. The Central Press team was selected with input from the captains of the major college teams. The AFCA team was based on a poll of coaches. Other notable selectors, though not recognized by the NCAA as official, included Time magazine, The Sporting News, and the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
