Schedule
The 1950 Fordham Rams football team represented Fordham University during the 1950 college football season. The Rams went 8-1 and scored 174 points while their defense allowed 123 points. Despite an 8-1 record, Fordham finished the season unranked and were left out of any postseason play, although they did get strong consideration from the Gator Bowl. Ultimately, a poor strength of schedule - Fordham's opponents combined for a dismal 28-53-4 mark-in what was a weak year for the entire Eastern region and a belief that Fordham wouldn't travel well - Fordham only averaged about 10,000 fans per home game - kept them home during bowl season. Still, their .889 win percentage (the 1937 team had a .933 win percentage while going 7-0-1) is tied for second best in school history.
