The 2017 Weber State Wildcats football team represented Weber State University in the 2017 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Wildcats were led by fourth-year head coach Jay Hill and played their games at Stewart Stadium as members of the Big Sky Conference.[1] They finished the season 11–3, 7–1 in Big Sky play to finish in a tie for the Big Sky championship with Southern Utah. Due to their head-to-head loss to Southern Utah in the regular season, they did not receive the Big Sky's automatic bid to the FCS Playoffs, but did receive an at-large bid to the FCS Playoffs, their second straight trip to the playoffs.[2] [3] In the first round, they defeated Western Illinois.[4] [5] [6] In the second round, they avenged their regular season loss to Southern Utah.[7] [8] In the quarterfinals, they lost to eventual national runner-up, James Madison.[9] [10]
Despite also being a member of the Big Sky Conference, the game with Sacramento State on September 16 was considered a non-conference game.
