Rankings from Division II Football Committee poll

Cal Poly 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 Mustangs were led by sixth-year head coach Lyle Setencich and played home games at Mustang Stadium in San Luis Obispo, California. They finished the season with a record of four wins, five losses and one tie (4–5–1, 2–3 WFC). Overall, the team outscored its opponents 253–217 for the season.
