Rankings from Division II Football Committee poll

Cal State Northridge competed in the Western Football Conference (WFC). The WFC folded after 1992, in part because of a new NCAA rule that prohibited member institutions who competed at the Division I level in other sports to compete at the Division II level in football. Four WFC members (Cal State Northridge, Sacramento State, Cal Poly, & Southern Utah) joined with UC Davis as charter members of the Division-I American West Conference in 1993.

The 1992 Matadors were led by seventh-year head coach Bob Burt. They played home games at North Campus Stadium in Northridge, California. Cal State Northridge finished the season with a record of five wins and five losses (5–5, 3–2 WFC). The Matadors were outscored by their opponents 161–224 for the season.
