Rankings from NCAA Division I-AA Football Committee

The 1981 Colgate Red Raiders football team was an American football team that represented Colgate University as an independent during the 1982 NCAA Division I-AA football season. Colgate ranked No. 9 nationally and qualified for the Division I-AA playoffs, but lost in the quarterfinal round.

In its seventh season under head coach Frederick Dunlap, the team compiled a 8–4 record (7–3 regular season). Dave Wolf and Mark Owens were the team captains.[1]

This was Colgate's first year in Division I-AA, after having competed in the top-level Division I-A and its predecessors since 1890.

A five-game winning streak to open the campaign put the Red Raiders in the weekly national rankings in their first year in Division I-AA, rising as high as No. 2. A three-game losing streak then bounced them out of the rankings, but Colgate finished the year at No. 9 and qualified for the Division I-AA playoffs, where it lost in the quarterfinals.

The team played its home games at Andy Kerr Stadium in Hamilton, New York.
