1955 All-Pacific Coast football team

(Redirected from 1955 All-Pacific Coast Conference football team)

The 1955 All-Pacific Coast football team consists of American football players chosen by the Associated Press (AP) and the United Press (UP) as the best college football players by position in the Pacific Coast region during the 1955 college football season. The AP team was limited to players form the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) and was based on votes of football writers of more than 20 AP member newspapers on the west coast.[1] The UP team included players from non-PCC schools.[2]

The 1955 UCLA Bruins football team won the PCC championship and was ranked No. 4 in the final AP Poll. Six UCLA players were selected by either the AP or UP on the first team: backs Sam Brown and Bob Davenport; end Rommie Loudd; guards Hardiman Cureton and Jim Brown; and center Steve Palmer.[1][2] Cureton was the only PCC player to be selected as a consensus first-team player on the 1955 All-America college football team.[3]
