Rankings from NCAA Division II Football Committee poll

This was the first and only season that UC Davis competed in the AWC. The other four teams in the conference competed at the NCAA Division I-AA level.[1] Apparently, this was due to a decision by the program not to offer scholarships.[2] In 1994, UC Davis became an NCAA Division II independent.
