We have a table in LaTeX that fits on the page, but has a *lot* of
columns, which gave us a situation where it looks uncentered on the
page, because we have a left margin but the table goes off to the
right. It fits but looks weird. Is there any way to either resize or
re-center the table so it isn't off kilter like this?
Thanks!

If you have a lot of columns, try using the sidewaystable. It creates a very
nice horizontal table. Here's the documentation:

2 things that also may help are using landscape orientation and
\footnotesize (which you can combine with \centering), which makes the table
smaller and in the middle:
\begin{landscape}
\begin{table}[!ht] \footnotesize
\centering
\begin{tabular}
TABLE STUFF HERE
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{landscape}
