1982 Colgate Red Raiders football team

9 nationally and qualified for the Division I-AA playoffs, but lost in the quarterfinal round.

Dave Wolf and Mark Owens were the team captains.

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.

A three-game losing streak then bounced them out of the rankings, but Colgate finished the year at No.

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