College football’s 30 winningest teams of all time
INDIANAPOLIS (BVM) – Here are the 30 college football teams with the most wins in history, which includes FBS and FCS programs.
Methodology: The all-time win-loss records were originally posted by NCAA.org several seasons back (FBS; FCS). So, overall records from the 2020, 2021 and 2022 football seasons were added to said records in order to create the most up-to-date results as of Aug. 1, 2023. NCAA.org noted that adjustments made by the NCAA Committee on Infractions were included — so they are marked with a (*). However, since that data is a few years old, further research was done to find additional vacated wins — so they are noted in parentheses.
