The Bison have appeared in the I-AA/FCS playoffs one time with an overall record of 0–1.
Over 20 Howard alumni have played in the NFL, including:
Howard's top rival is Hampton University. The two schools call their intense rivalry The Real HU.
Howard also has a strong rivalry with Morgan State University.
Another of Howard's historic rivals is Morehouse College, more popularly known as the Howard/ "Spel-House" rivalry due to Morehouse's close association with the all-women's HBCU Spelman College. This rivalry is not often played because Morehouse is a Division II athletic program, while Howard is Division I.
