1941 All-Pacific Coast football team
The 1941 All-Pacific Coast football team consists of American football players chosen by various organizations for All-Pacific Coast teams for the 1941 college football season. The organizations selecting teams in 1941 included the Associated Press (AP) and the United Press (UP).[1][2]
The 1941 Oregon State Beavers football team won the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) championship with an 8-2 record, finished the season ranked No. 12 in the final AP Poll, and was represented on the first team by center Quentin Greenough on the AP and UP teams. The 1941 Washington State Cougars football team compiled a 6-4 record, was ranked No. 19 in the final AP Poll, and landed three players on either the AP or UP first teams: halfback Billy Sewell (AP, UP) and ends Nick Susoeff (AP, UP) and Dale Gentry (AP). Despite finishing in fourth place, the 1941 Stanford Indians football team also had three players receiving first-team honors: quarterback Frankie Albert (AP, UP), guard Chuck Taylor (AP, UP), and end Fred Meyer (UP),[1][2]
While no players from teams outside the PCC received first-team honors from the AP or UP, three players from the 1941 Santa Clara Broncos football team received second-team honors.[1][2]
