# 2014 Colonial Athletic Association football season

The 2014 Colonial Athletic Association football season was the eight season of football for the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and part of the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS football season. It was the first season for Elon in the CAA after being a member of the Southern Conference. New Hampshire went undefeated conference play, winning the CAA with a record of 8–0.

## Previous season

In 2013, the CAA played with 11 members, and were welcoming in Albany and Stony Brook to replace Georgia State and Old Dominion, who left for the FBS. Maine won the conference with a record of 7–1 in conference, and was joined in the FCS Playoffs by New Hampshire and Towson. Maine would receive the #5 seed in the playoffs, but be eliminated in their first game by New Hampshire. New Hampshire would go on to the semifinals, and fall on the road to #1 seed North Dakota State. Towson would earn the #7 seed, and go all the way to the National Championship game, only to fall to North Dakota State.
