Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2023 Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference season is the 17th season of the Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference, branded as CAA Football, taking place during the 2023 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The season began on August 26, 2023 with non-conference play; conference play will begin on September 23, 2023.

While this season is the first for the conference's full name of Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference, with the first word having been "Colonial" from 2007 through 2022, the brand name of CAA Football has been used since the multi-sports Coastal Athletic Association took over operation of the former Atlantic 10 football conference in 2007.

Background

[edit]
The top ranked Albany Great Danes beat bottom ranked Stony Brook, 38-20

Campbell and North Carolina A&T joined CAA Football from the Big South Conference. Campbell also joined the multi-sports CAA at that time, while A&T had joined the multi-sports CAA in 2022.

Previous season

[edit]

The 2022 Colonial Athletic Association co-champions were No. 8 William & Mary with an overall record of 11–2 and an in-conference record of 7–1 alongside No. 13 New Hampshire with a record of 9–4 with an in-conference record of 7–1.
