Rankings from NCAA Division II Football Committee poll

The 1993 UC Davis football team represented the University of California, Davis as a member of the American West Conference (AWC) during the 1993 NCAA Division II football season. Led by first-year head coach Bob Biggs, UC Davis compiled an overall record of 10–2 with a mark of 3–1 in conference play, sharing the AWC title with Southern Utah. 1993 was the 24th consecutive winning season for the Aggies. UC Davis advanced to the NCAA Division II Football Championship playoffs, where they beat Fort Hays State in the first round before falling to Texas A&M–Kingsville in the quarterfinals. The team outscored its opponents 460 to 297 for the season. The Aggies played home games at Toomey Field in Davis, California.

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.
