    • The Ivy League did not crown an official champion until 1956 when full league play began.

    The 1955 Yale Bulldogs football team represented Yale University in the 1955 college football season. The Bulldogs were led by fourth-year head coach Jordan Olivar, played their home games at the Yale Bowl and finished the season with a 7–2 record.[1][2]

    This would be Yale's final year as a football independent, as the Ivy League, which Yale had helped co-found in 1954, began football competition in 1956. Six of the nine opponents on the Bulldogs' 1955 schedule were Ivy League members (with Penn the only Ivy not scheduled); for decades, (future) Ivy members had comprised a large portion of Yale's opponents.
