Rankings from AP Poll

The 1942 Washington State Cougars football team was an American football team that represented Washington State College during the 1942 college football season. Seventeenth-year head coach Babe Hollingbery led the team to a 5–1–1 mark in the PCC and 6–2–2 overall.[1] Two home games were played on campus at Rogers Field in Pullman and two in Spokane at Gonzaga Stadium.

The season was Hollingbery's last and marked the longest tenure at the school. Due to manpower shortages during World War II, no team was fielded for the next two seasons; Cougar football resumed in 1945.
