The 1921 California Golden Bears football team represented the University of California, Berkeley during the 1921 college football season. The Golden Bears offense scored 312 points while the defense allowed 14 points.[1] Led by head coach Andy Smith, the Golden Bears finished the regular season with a record of 9 wins and no losses. At season’s end, the Golden Bears played against Washington & Jefferson Presidents in the rain-soaked 1922 Rose Bowl, which ended in a 0-0 tie. The team was selected retroactively as the 1921 national champion by the Billingsley Report (using its alternative "margin of victory" methodology), College Football Researchers Association, and Jeff Sagarin, and as a co-national champion under the Boand.[2]
