Rankings from AP Poll

The 1999 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University in the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their first season under head coach Dennis Erickson, the Beavers compiled a 7–4 regular season record (4–4 in Pac-10, fifth),[1] their first winning season in 29 years. They opened with three non-conference wins, lost the first three conference games, then won four straight, but fell in the Civil War at Oregon.[1]

OSU made their first bowl game appearance in 35 years,[2] but dropped the Oahu Bowl by six points to host Hawaii on Christmas day to finish at 7–5.[3][4][5]

Hired in January, Erickson was previously the head coach of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks for four years, preceded by six seasons at the University of Miami.[6][7][8] Predecessor Mike Riley had left the Beavers after just two seasons for the NFL's San Diego Chargers,[9][10] then returned to Corvallis in February 2003.[11][12]
