List of 100 point games in NCAA college football
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In NCAA college football, games in which 100 points are scored by a single team are a rarity, especially since 1930; in lopsided games, several deterrents exist to prevent running up the score. Of current Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams, only Arizona, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, and Tulsa have eclipsed 150-points in a game. Georgia Tech is the only team to ever record over 200 points in one game, which occurred in 1916 against Cumberland.
It is rare for a team to have scored in a game when the opponent scored over 100 points, but several cases exist. One is the Rice - Southern Methodist game of 1916 when SMU scored first on a field goal but Rice "came back" to win 146-3.
Early records are often incomplete and sometimes contradictory. Scores listed in the table below have been confirmed in at least two sources[1] except when there is a footnote.
