The 2002 Colgate Raiders football team was an American football team that represented Colgate University during the 2002 NCAA Division I-AA football season. Colgate tied for the Patriot League championship but did not qualify for the national playoffs.
In its seventh season under head coach Dick Biddle, the team compiled a 9–3 record. Tom McCune and Max Wynn were the team captains. [1]
The Raiders outscored opponents 301 to 203. Their 6–1 conference record tied atop the eight-team Patriot League standings. Co-champion Fordham, which had dealt Colgate its only loss in conference play, was selected to receive the Patriot League's automatic berth in the national Division I-AA playoffs. [2] Unlike 1999, the last time the Patriot League had a tie for first place, in 2002 Colgate did not receive an at-large invitation to the playoffs.
From preseason to the last week of play, Colgate did not appear in the national Division I-AA top 25 rankings. After winning the co-championship, Colgate entered the rankings at No. 25 in the final poll of the year.
The team played its home games at Andy Kerr Stadium in Hamilton, New York.
