La temporada de fútbol americano de la División IA de la NCAA de 1985 vio a los Oklahoma Sooners , liderados por el entrenador en jefe Barry Switzer , ganar el campeonato nacional.

Oklahoma terminó la temporada 11-1, con su única derrota ante Miami en casa, en un juego en el que la futura estrella de la NFL Troy Aikman se perdió durante la temporada. Los Sooners se reagruparon y se mantuvieron invictos el resto del camino, terminando la temporada con una victoria sobre Penn State en el Orange Bowl.

Michigan terminaría No. 2, el mejor resultado de un equipo liderado por Bo Schembechler . El equipo brilló en defensa, liderado por los All-Americans Mike Hammerstein y Mark Messner .

Tennessee terminó la temporada con una victoria sobre el No. 2 Miami en el Sugar Bowl . Este equipo ganó el primer campeonato SEC de la escuela en 16 años y fue apodado "Sugar Vols". El título de la SEC fue el primero de tres para el entrenador Johnny Majors .

Los Falcons de la Fuerza Aérea, bajo Fisher DeBerry, tuvieron lo que se considera su mejor temporada, derrotando a Texas en el Bluebonnet Bowl y finalizando No. 8 en la Encuesta AP (No. 5 en la Encuesta de Entrenadores).

La edición de este año del Iron Bowl es considerada una de las mejores de la historia. A pesar de tener Auburn Heisman Trophy ganador Bo Jackson en su lado, Alabama ganó este juego con un gol de campo de último segundo.

Este sería el último año para la Conferencia del Valle de Missouri híbrida IA ​​/ I-AA en el fútbol. 5 de los 7 equipos en la conferencia ( Drake , Illinois State , Indiana State , Southern Illinois y West Texas State ) habían estado jugando fútbol americano de la División I-AA desde la temporada de 1982, mientras que Tulsa y Wichita State seguirían siendo 1-A, convirtiéndose en independientes la temporada siguiente.

Cambios en las reglas

• Los patadas de salida que atraviesan la zona de anotación sin tocar se colocarán en la línea de 20 yardas, derogando una regla adoptada en 1984 que requería que la pelota se colocara en la línea de 30 yardas.
• Al liniero ofensivo se le permitirá usar los brazos extendidos y las manos abiertas en todos los bloques, no solo en los bloques de retirada.
• Está prohibido el uso de dos postes. Todos los postes ahora deben ser del estilo "diapasón" o "tirachinas", con el travesaño levantándose de un solo poste.
• El equipo de oficiales de siete hombres ahora es obligatorio para todas las conferencias de la División IA.
