Rankings from AP Poll

The 1986 Wichita State Shockers football team represented Wichita State University in the 1986 NCAA Division I-A football season.^[1] The Shockers competed as an independent program and played their home games at Cessna Stadium. The team, coached by Ron Chismar, went 3–8 and announced on December 2 that the team's 1986 season would be its last. University officials cited financial issues and lack of success as two of many factors leading to the program's termination. Some talks have been made in recent years regarding reinstatement of the program, but due to the substantial financial investment required, no action was taken.
