Rankings from AP Poll

The 1998 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University in the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 1998 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by second-year-head coach Mike Riley, the Beavers compiled an overall record of 5–6 record with mark of 2–6 in conference play, tying for eighth place in the Pac-10. It was the program's first five-win season since 1971.[1] The team played home games at Parker Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon.

Riley left Oregon State after the season, in January 1999, to become the head coach for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League (NFL).[2][3]. He was succeeded by Dennis Erickson, previously the head coach of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks for four years, preceded by six seasons at the head football coach at the University of Miami.[4][5][6] Four years later, in February 2003, Erickson left for the NFL's San Francisco 49ers, and Riley returned to Corvallis as head coach for the Beavers.[7][8]
