List of historically significant college football games

The following is a list of historically significant college football games. Games included on this list are single college football games that have historical impact to the sport of college football.

Inclusion on this list requires games of significant historical "firsts" and/or otherwise significant impact to the sport itself, such as significant rules changes or initiation of long-standing ceremony. Historically significant games should be prominently discussed in major historical accounts of college football. Games that may be significant only to a particular team's fan base should not be listed here.

Games are listed in chronological order. The name of the winning team is in bold.

1922 Michigan vs. Vanderbilt football game Vanderbilt Michigan Nashville, Tennessee 0–0 Michigan coach Fielding Yost and Vanderbilt coach Dan McGugin were brothers-in-law, and the latter the protege of the former. The inaugural game at Dudley Field featured the season's two best defenses. Michigan was a heavy favorite to win but Vandy managed a goal line stand to preserve a tie. The game's result was "a great surprise to the sporting world."[35] It features prominently in Vanderbilt's history.[36] Commodore fans celebrated by throwing some 3,000 seat cushions onto the field.
1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game Chicago Princeton Chicago, Illinois 18-21 First game to be nationally broadcast on radio and considered a hotly contested game. Had Princeton dubbed the "Team of Destiny."[37]

1940 Cornell–Dartmouth football game Dartmouth Cornell Hanover, New Hampshire 3–0 (3–7) Game is known for an officiating error that resulted in a rare postgame reversal of the outcome. Cornell threw an incomplete pass on 4th and goal in the game's final seconds, seemingly ensuring a 3-0 shutout victory by Dartmouth. However, the referees inadvertently allowed Cornell to attempt a "fifth down" play on which Cornell scored an apparent game-winning touchdown. After the error was discovered during postgame film review, Cornell offered to forfeit the game. Dartmouth accepted, marking the only time that the outcome of a college football game was decided off the field.[40]

The game is the subject of the documentary film Harvard Beats Yale 29-29, a reference to the Harvard Crimson headline.[55]
1969 Florida A&M University vs. University of Tampa football game University of Tampa Florida A&M University Tampa Stadium -Tampa, Florida 34-28 The first interracial football game in the South. It was the Pivotal game in the desegregation of college football. Before a sellout crowd of 46,000, A&M won the game, in what may well have been the largest mass act of desegregation since emancipation. It pitted the Florida A&M Rattlers, long one of the dominant teams among black colleges, against the Tampa

Spartans, a rising power that was overwhelmingly white.[56][57][58]

1970 USC vs. Alabama football game Alabama USC Birmingham, Alabama 21-42 USC opened the season visiting the University of Alabama under legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant and became the first fully integrated team to play in the state of Alabama.[59] The game, scheduled by Bryant, resulted in a domineering 42–21 win by the Trojans. More importantly, all six touchdowns scored by USC team were by African-American players, two by USC running back Sam "Bam" Cunningham, against an all-white Crimson Tide team.[60] The game hastened the racial integration of football at Alabama and in the South.[61]
1971 TCU vs. Baylor football game Baylor TCU Waco, Texas 27-34 On October 30, 1971 TCU coach Jim Pittman collapsed on the sideline in Waco shortly after the annual game between the Horned Frogs and Bears began. The game was continued after Coach Pittman was taken by private car to the hospital as the ambulance had already taken a dizzy school official to the hospital and had not yet returned. Coach Pittman was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The TCU and Baylor players were informed at halftime, and it was decided to honor Coach Pittman's memory by finishing the game, which TCU rallied to win 34-27. This remains the first, and to date only, time in college football history that a coach died on the field during a game.[62][63][64][65]
1975 Ohio State vs. Minnesota Ohio State Minnesota Columbus, Ohio 38-6 In a game that saw the Ohio State Buckeyes win 38-6 against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, eventual two-time Heisman trophy winner Archie Griffin rushes for 124 yards,[66] setting the current NCAA record for Most Consecutive Games Gaining 100 Yards or More in a Career

1982 Northwestern vs. Northern Illinois football game Northwestern Northern Illinois Evanston, Illinois 31-6 Northwestern ends its 34-game losing streak,[68] which remains the longest losing streak in FBS/1-A history.
1982 California–Stanford football game California Stanford Berkeley, California 25–20 Game is well known for its final play, known simply as "The Play" - a kickoff return in which California used a series of laterals to score the game-winning touchdown as time expired. Thinking that the game was over, Stanford's marching band had come out onto the field before the play had concluded. The picture of California's Kevin Moen plowing into oblivious Stanford trombone player Gary Tyrrell upon scoring the game-winning touchdown remains one of the most iconic images in college football. "The Play" is recognized as one of the most memorable plays in college football history.[69] In addition, it denied Stanford quarterback John Elway and the rest of the team a chance to play in a bowl game. Stanford and California fans continue to dispute the results.
1983 Oregon State vs. Oregon football game Oregon Oregon State Eugene, Oregon 0-0 Last scoreless tie in NCAA Division I-A. Often referred to as the "Toilet Bowl", the game featured 11 turnovers and four missed field goal attempts.[70]
1987 Fiesta Bowl Penn State Miami (Fla.) Tempe, Arizona 14–10 Game is known for changing the landscape of college football bowl games. Due to the bidding war that began, and both Penn State and Miami being independent, the Fiesta Bowl won out and then became a high-profile bowl. It is also the highest rated championship game in history, recording a 24.9 Nielson rating (more than 70 million viewers); no college football game has gotten that kind of ratings, before or since. This game was billed as the classic good versus evil matchup. Highlighted by Penn State's defense intercepting Heisman Trophy winner Vinny Testaverde five times including one with 18 seconds left near the end zone.[71]
1990 Colorado–Missouri football game Missouri Colorado Columbia, Missouri 31–33 Game is known for an officiating error that had far-reaching implications. On the game's final drive, the referees inadvertently allowed Colorado to attempt a "fifth down" play on which the Buffaloes scored the game-winning touchdown as time expired. Aided in part by the controversial victory, Colorado completed a 10-win season and was awarded the AP National Championship.[72]

1998 Southern vs. Prairie View A&M football game Prairie View A&M Southern (LA) Beaumont, Texas 7-37[79] This was the final loss of the worst losing streak in college football (80 games). However, it also gained infamy from a brawl between the two schools' marching bands during the halftime show that resulted in the suspension of both bands by the conference for two games.[80]
2001 Cumberland vs. Jacksonville State football game Jacksonville State Cumberland Jacksonville, Alabama 72–10 Ashley Martin becomes the first woman to play and score in a NCAA football game and the second woman to play and score in a college game in any division.[81]

2005 Fiesta Bowl Pittsburgh Utah Tempe, Arizona 7-35 Utah becomes the first non-BCS Conference team to appear in and win a BCS Bowl game by blowing out Big East champion Pittsburgh 35-7.

In the aftermath of the game, the Associated Press amended their polling policy to make FCS teams eligible for the AP Poll, which had previously been limited to FBS teams.[85]
2007 Navy vs. Notre Dame football game Notre Dame Navy Notre Dame, Indiana 44-46 (3OT) Navy's triple-overtime victory over Notre Dame ended the Fighting Irish's 43-game winning streak over the Midshipmen, which is still the NCAA FBS record for most consecutive victories against one opponent.[86]
2007 Trinity vs. Millsaps football game Millsaps Trinity Jackson, Mississippi 24–28 Commonly called "Lateralpalooza" - Trinity threw 15 laterals and scored a 60-yard touchdown to win a game against the Millsaps Majors as time expired in the game, producing "the longest play in college football history."[87]
