- In college football, games in which 100 points are scored by a single team are rare, especially since 1940. In the post-World War II era, it is considered in poor form to run up the score of lopsided games. There have been only three occurrences since 1970, and just one since 2000. On October 25, 1884, Yale defeated Dartmouth 113–0, becoming the first team to score 100 points in a game. The next week, Princeton defeated Lafayette 140-0. The most points scored by a single team, and the most lopsided final score in college football history, occurred on October 7, 1916 when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222–0. Only two other programs have scored at least 200 points in a single game: King College, now King University, defeated Lenoir 206-0 in 1922 and St. Viator College beat Lane College (IL) 205-0 in 1916. Fifteen programs have scored at least 150 points in a game: Albion, Arizona, Bowling Green, Central Oklahoma (twice), Dayton, Georgia Tech, Harvard, King (TN), Millikin, Missouri S&T, Oklahoma (twice), Pittsburg State, St. Viator, Stevens and Tulsa (twice). It is rare for a team to have scored in a game when the opponent scored over 100 points, but several cases exist, including when SMU kicked an early field goal but Rice "came back" to win 146–3 in 1916. Early records are often incomplete and sometimes contradictory. Scores without footnotes listed in the table below have been confirmed in at least two sources, usually The Football Thesaurus and the football media guide of one of the corresponding schools. A footnote by the score indicates a separate single reference source. The table includes not only scores from NCAA programs, but also from those that compete in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and from games played before the advent of the NCAA or NAIA.
