This was Columbia's first year in Division I-AA, after having competed in the top-level Division I-A and its predecessors since 1870.
Columbia played its home games at Baker Field in Upper Manhattan, in New York City. This was the final year for Baker Field, which had hosted Columbia football since 1923. Following Baker Field's demolition, Columbia built Lawrence A. Wien Stadium, its current football home, on the same site.
