  • ^ – NCAA Division III playoff participant

The Gauchos competed as an NCAA Division III independent in 1986. This was the first year for "official" NCAA football since the program disbanded after the 1971 season. From 1983 to 1985, a student-run club team existed, but games played by that team are not considered in NCAA records.[1] The team was led by head coach Mike Warren, a UCSB alum, and played home games at Campus Stadium in Santa Barbara, California. They finished the season with a record of four wins and five losses (4–5) and were outscored by their opponents 158–163 for the season.
