Some argue this placed them at the top of the league. This was Penn's first year in Division I-AA, after having competed in the top-level Division I-A and its predecessors since 1876. After starting the year with three wins, the Quakers made several appearances in the weekly Division I-AA top 20 rankings. They were ranked No. 17 for the last week of the Ivy League season, but were unranked in the final rankings, which were released after their season-ending loss to Cornell. Penn played its home games at Franklin Field adjacent to the university's campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
