The 1971 UC Davis football team represented the University of California, Davis in the 1971 College Division football season. UC Davis competed in the Far Western Conference (FWC).[note 1] The UC Davis sports teams were commonly called the “Cal Aggies” from 1924 until the mid 1970s.
The Aggies were led by second-year head coach Jim Sochor. They played home games at Toomey Field. UC Davis finished the season as co-champion of the FWC. This started a remarkable streak where the Aggies would win or share the conference crown for the next 20 seasons. The Aggies finished the season with a record of nine wins and one loss (9–1, 5–1 FWC). The Aggies outscored their opponents 305–184 for the 1971 season.
