# 2016 Carleton Ravens football team

The 2016 Carleton Ravens football team represented Carleton University in the 2016 CIS football season. The Ravens played in their 55th season overall and their fourth season of Canadian Interuniversity Sport play after a 15-year hiatus.
Carleton had a fairly successful season, finishing the regular season with a 6–2 record, 4th in the OUA. This gave the Ravens the right to host their first playoff game since 1986, against their cross-town rivals, the Ottawa Gee-Gees. They would then go on to lose in the semifinal against Western. The Ravens finished the season ranked 8th in the country, and had a peak ranking of 4th after week 3.
