The 1936 Saint Vincent Bearcats football team represented Saint Vincent College as an independent during the 1936 college football season. Led by fifth-year head coach Red Edwards, the Bearcats compiled a 5âÂÂ3 record.
In a wire service column, an Associated Press sportswriter awarded the Bearcats the "undisputed title" of national champions by way of a string of transitive property victories. Saint Vincent beat West Virginia Wesleyan, who beat Duquesne, who beat Pittsburgh, who beat Notre Dame, who beat No. 1 Northwestern, who beat No. 1 Minnesota, who beat Washington, who won the western invitation to the 1937 Rose Bowl by beating Washington State.
