The 1917 Michigan Agricultural Aggies football team represented Michigan Agricultural College (MAC) as an independent during the 1917 college football season. In their ninth non-consecutive year under head coach Chester Brewer (Brewer previously coached the Aggies from 1903 to 1910), the Aggies compiled a 0–9 record and were outscored by their opponents 179 to 23.[1]

This season marks the only time in team history in which they went winless on the field; in 1994, the Spartans finished with a 5–6 record, but this was changed to 0-11 after an academic scandal led to the forfeiture of their victories.
