College football is one of the biggest sports in America, generating tens of millions of dollars every year – but what is the highest college football score ever?

What Is The Highest College Football Score Ever?
Many of the most memorable NCAA football scores have been high-scoring shootouts with both sides going hammer and tong.
But technically, the highest-scoring game in college football history didn’t even involve two football teams. In 1916, Georgia Tech crushed Cumberland 220-0.

As for legitimate contests between two genuine NCAA football teams, we’ve listed the five highest-scoring college football games of the modern era:

North Texas meanwhile notched up eight passing touchdowns with just one on the ground.
