Murad (1910) In 1915, Colgate recorded its 100th victory with a win over
Army and also beat
Yale on their way to a 5–1 finish. The following season, they compiled an 8–1 record, with the lone loss coming against Yale, 7–3. In 1932, Colgate finished
undefeated, untied and unscored upon with a 9–0 record. They outscored their opponents 234–0. They did not, however, receive an invitation to the 1933
Rose Bowl, and as such, have been referred to as "undefeated, untied, unscored upon, and uninvited." The team was considered as a candidate to play in the first
Sugar Bowl in January 1935 but the honor went to Temple University. In 1982, Colgate football was relegated from the
Division I-A to Division I-AA (now FCS) level. Since then, the team has advanced to the playoffs numerous times. In 2003, Colgate advanced to the Division I-AA final, having won 15 straight games that season (12–0 Schedule, 3 Playoff Wins), becoming the first and only Patriot League team to ever do so (achieving a final record of 15–1). There, the Raiders lost to
Delaware, 40–0. Two Raiders have received the
Walter Payton Award for most outstanding player in Division I-AA:
Kenny Gamble in 1987 and
Jamaal Branch in 2003.
