Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2022 Davidson Wildcats football team represented Davidson College as a member of the Pioneer Football League (PFL) during the 2022 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by fifth-year head coach Scott Abell and played their home games at Richardson Stadium. Although the Wildcats finished in a second place tie in the conference with a 6–2 conference record, they claimed the PFL's automatic bid in the FCS Playoffs (due to St. Thomas (MN) being ineligible due to their 5-year transition from Division III to Division I) after narrowly defeating Dayton 24–23 in the final week of the regular season.
