List of 100-point games in college football
Wikimedia list article
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 four occurrences since 1970, and just two since 2003.
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: St. Viator beat Lane (IL) 205–0 in 1916 and King (TN) defeated Lenoir 206–0 in 1922.
Twenty programs have scored at least 150 points in a game: Albion, Arizona, Bowling Green, Carroll (MT), Central Oklahoma (twice), Christian Brothers (MO), Dayton, Georgia Tech, Harvard, King (TN), Millikin, Missouri S&T, Newberry, Oklahoma (twice), Pittsburg State, Roanoke, St. Viator, Southwestern (KS), Stevens and Tulsa (twice).
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of 100-point games in college football” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6559327. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1940, 1970, 2003 and 1884.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
