1950 Fordham Rams football team

The 1950 Fordham Rams football team represented Fordham University during the 1950 college football season. The Rams went 8-1 and amassed 174 points while their defense allowed 123 points [1]. Despite an 8-1 record, Fordham finished the season unranked and were left out of any post-season play although they did get strong consideration from the Gator Bowl [2] [3]. Ultimately, a poor strength of schedule (Fordham's opponents combined for a dismal 28-53-4 mark) in what was a weak year for the entire Eastern region and a belief that Fordham wouldn't travel well (Fordham only averaged about 10,000 fans per home game) kept them home during bowl season. Still, their .889 win percentage (the 1937 team had a .933 win percentage while going 7-0-1) is tied for second best in school history.
