The 2000 UC Davis football team represented the University of California, Davis in the 2000 NCAA Division II football season. They played as a Division II independent in 2000. They would stay an independent until 2004 when they became a charter member of the Great West Conference (GWC).
The 2000 Aggies were led by eighth-year head coach Bob Biggs and played their home games at Toomey Field. UC Davis finished the regular season undefeated, with a record of ten wins and no losses (10–0). This was the 31st consecutive year UC Davis finished with a winning record.
At the end of the season the Aggies were ranked #1 in the West Region and were invited to the Division II playoffs for the fifth year in a row. In the first round they defeated 4th-ranked (West) Chadron State at their home stadium in Davis, California. In the second round (quarterfinal) they again played in their home stadium, and defeated 3rd-ranked (West) Mesa State. In the semifinal round (quarterfinal) they again played in their home stadium, and were upset by the #3 ranked team in the Northeast Region Bloomsburg. That brought the Aggies final record to twelve wins and one loss (12–1). The Aggies averaged scoring 48 points per game, outscoring their opponents 622–258 for the season.
