List of most-played college football series in NCAA Division I

This is a list of the most-played college football series in NCAA Division I. The Lehigh–Lafayette rivalry, known as "The Rivalry," is the most-played in Division I at 157 games. Lehigh and Lafayette are members of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The most-played Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) series is the Minnesota–Wisconsin football rivalry, at 131 games. In some cases, during the early years of college football when distant travel was prohibitive, these teams played each other more than once per year. [lower-alpha 1]

Series listed here are not necessarily continuous series, and several of the series listed below were ended (or interrupted) by either the 2010–2014 NCAA conference realignment or the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes several games that are not considered notable rivalries, but are between teams that, mainly due to conference alignment, have been played 100 or more times.[lower-alpha 2] Most of the games are in-conference match-ups. Nevertheless, conference affiliation is not necessarily an impediment to playing an annual game, and this list features match-ups of teams that have rarely or never shared an athletic conference. [lower-alpha 3]

This table is for listing all NCAA Division I football series with at least 100 games played. Wins and losses are given respective to the team leading the series.

Games

Updated through December 11, 2021.
The "V" column indicates vacated victories to make sure all the games are documented in the list - W+L+T+V=Total. Vacated victories are different than forfeited victories. In recent years, the NCAA has used the vacating procedure instead of requiring forfeitures when teams are penalized for violating NCAA rules. NCAA procedures require that the winning team adjust its record to remove a win that is vacated. However, the losing team is not allowed to reduce the number of losses on its record.[1] This means that the win–loss–tie records for some series will not add up to the total number of games without adding the vacated games in the V column. Confounding this problem is that the NCAA's official record of the most played rivalries, does not reflect the vacated games. A note documenting each vacated game is included in the "V" column.

Notes

Lehigh vs. Lafayette and Wiliam & Mary vs. Richmond, for example.
For instance Brown's series with Harvard and Yale, and Oregon State's series with Washington and Washington State.
For instance Cincinnati–Miami (Ohio) and Army–Navy
Most-played rivalry within the Ivy League.
The NCAA incorrectly lists the record as 78–60–8 in its 2020 FCS record book
Most-played rivalry within the Big Ten Conference.
Became the longest uninterrupted series in FBS history in 2012 – continuous since 1907 – supplanting the Kansas–Nebraska series.
If "uninterrupted" is interpreted as having been played in every calendar year, this became the longest uninterrupted series in all college football history in 2020 – continuous since 1907 – supplanting the Lafayette–Lehigh series. However, the Lafayette–Lehigh series has been played in each football season since 1897, with both schools' home conference of the Patriot League having moved its fall 2020 season to spring 2021.
Next game Nov 27, 2021.
Most-played rivalry within the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Disputed series record: North Carolina forfeited their win in 1956 (or 1957) but there was no NCAA sanction.
Winsipedia.com number of games played is incorrect
Can potentially be played twice in one season, with rematch in the respective conference championship game.
Most-played rivalry within the Southeastern Conference.
Formerly an in-conference rivalry.
Most-played intra-state rivalry.
Most-played rivalry that is currently non-conference.
Most-played rivalry between FBS teams outside the Power Five conferences.
Northwest Championship also involves Washington and Washington State.
Most-played rivalry within the Pac-12 Conference.
Since 2014, this is the only "protected" cross-division rivalry in the Big Ten.
Most-played rivalry within the Big 12 Conference.
Disputed series record: Kansas State claims Kansas leads the series lead 63–51–5, based on a game that the Big Eight conference ruled Kansas had to vacate in 1980. Kansas claims a very narrow interpretation of NCAA statistical guidelines that don't reference games that conference committees vacate. The NCAA did not act on the 1980 vacation. The winsipedia.com database does not delete the victory from Kansas' win total, while it does delete games that are officially vacated by the NCAA.
Montana vacated its last five wins of the 2011 season due to NCAA violations. This included a regular season win over Montana State.
Kansas forfeited 1960 win.
Mississippi State forfeited 1976 and 1977 games, which by NCAA guidelines are changed to Ole Miss wins. This is different than vacated games, which are only removed from the offending team's win totals. In this series, there are both forfeits and vacations, which makes the different treatment particularly apparent.
Ole Miss vacated 2012 and 2014 wins against Mississippi State which are removed from its win totals, but not added to Mississippi State's win totals.
Ohio State vacated all of its wins during the 2010 season due to NCAA violations. This included a win over Michigan.
Some sources claim that Oklahoma forfeited the 1972 game. OU Forfeit 8 games in 1972 This is not included in the NCAA source.
Disputed series record: Vanderbilt records show that Tennessee has 76–33–5 series lead due, including Vanderbilt's 1918 victory. Tennessee records do not count games played in 1918 since the team was "unofficial [team] formed from Army West Point recruits and students. " This list entry accepts the Vanderbilt contention given the unusual circumstances that all college football teams faced in 1918 when the War Department took over training for many college students.
Mississippi State forfeited games to LSU in 1975 and 1976. This was in the era when wins were added to LSU and losses added to Mississippi State. On-field record is 74-34-3.
Tobacco Road also involves Duke and North Carolina.
Northwest Championship also involves Oregon State and Washington State.
Most-played rivalry within the Mountain West Conference.
Most-played conference rivalry between FBS teams outside the Power Five conferences.
Northwest Championship also involves Oregon and Oregon State.
Beehive Boot also involves BYU

Tobacco Road also involves Duke and NC State
Tobacco Road also involves NC State and Wake Forest

California forfeited their 1999 win and USC vacated their 2005 win, both of which were due to ineligible players.
Northwest Championship also involves Oregon and Washington State.
Northwest Championship also involves Oregon and Washington.
Alabama forfeited a game in 1993 that officially results in a Mississippi State win instead of an Alabama loss. Alabama vacated the game in 2005, which results in removal of the game from Alabama's win column, but not an added win for Mississippi State.
Alabama vacated its 2005 win against Tennessee, meaning a win is deducted from Alabama total. Alabama also forfeited its 1993 tie, which changes that game from a tie to a win for Tennessee.
West Virginia and Pittsburgh are scheduled for a 4-game series from 2022-2025 [43]
Minnesota and Michigan are in different divisions of the Big 10. Next game scheduled for 2023

[34] Disputed series record: Kansas State claims Kansas leads the series lead 63–51–5, based on a game that the Big Eight conference ruled Kansas had to vacate in 1980. Kansas claims a very narrow interpretation of NCAA statistical guidelines that don't reference games that conference committees vacate. The NCAA did not act on the 1980 vacation. The winsipedia.com database does not delete the victory from Kansas' win total, while it does delete games that are officially vacated by the NCAA.
