Rankings from Dickinson System

The 1931 St. John's Redmen football team was an American football team that represented St. John's College of New York City during the 1931 college football season. It would be the final season of varsity football at St. John's for over four decades, as on April 29, 1931, the board of trustees announced that the football program would be dropped at the conclusion of the 1931 season for financial reasons.[2] Football returned as a student-operated club sport in 1965 and became a varsity program in 1978 before being dropped again in 2002 due to Title IX concerns.[3][4] Led by ninth-year head coach Ray Lynch and quarterback Bob Sheppard, the team compiled a 3–5–1 record. The team played its home games at Dexter Park in Queens.
