Rankings from Coaches Poll

Only eight games were played, rather than the usual nine, because the Red Raiders' traditional season-ending matchup with Brown University, slated for Nov. 23, 1963, was canceled following the previous day's assassination of John F. Kennedy.

The team played its home games at Colgate Athletic Field in Hamilton, New York.
