Rankings from small college polls

The 1968 Humboldt State Lumberjacks football team represented Humboldt State College—now known as California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt—as a member of the Far Western Conference (FWC) during the 1968 NCAA College Division football season. Led by third-year head coach Bud Van Deren, the Lumberjacks compiled an overall record of 10–1 with a mark of 6–0 in conference play, winning the FWC title.[1] Humboldt State finished the regular season ranked No. 16 in the AP small college poll and No. 10 in the UPI small college poll. At the end of the season the Lumberjacks were invited to the Camellia Bowl. There was no playoff in the NCAA College Division at this time, so the Camellia Bowl was one of four regional championship games in the division. Humboldt State faced California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) champion Fresno State, and defeated the Bulldogs, 29–14, to win the western region title. The team outscored its opponents 375 to 138 for the season. Humboldt State played home games at the Redwood Bowl in Arcata, California.
