This is a list of the college football teams with the most wins in the history of NCAA College Football as measured in both total wins and winning percentage. It includes teams from the NCAA Division I-Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), NCAA Division I-Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III.

The lists below reflect official results after vacated and forfeited games. In the case of a tie, the method used to calculate winning percentage is to award half a point towards both a win and a lost, which is the method used in the NCAA’s own tabulation of team records.
