List of vacated games in NCAA Division I FBS football

The following is a list of games ordered vacated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A). The list does not include forfeits imposed as a result of NCAA sanctions or wins from FCS, Division II, or Division III football.

As a private association, the NCAA only changes its own records to reflect forfeits or vacations that its own Committee on Infractions has ordered, and not for sanctions imposed by individual conferences.

Most games vacated
Currently, the record for most wins currently recognized as vacated by the NCAA is the 37 wins vacated by LSU football as a result of Vadal Alexander being ineligible for his entire college career.

Historically, the most wins ever vacated by a team at any point in time is the 112 wins vacated by Penn State football as a result of the Penn State child sex abuse scandal. These wins were later restored to Penn State’s record in 2015 as a result of a settlement.

In addition to vacating and forfeiting games, the NCAA has the power to issue other forms of sanctions. The harshest sanction is a ban on a school's competing in a sport for at least one year. Sometimes referred to as the NCAA's death penalty, this sanction has been imposed once against an FBS college football program: SMU football for the 1987 season as a result of the Southern Methodist University football scandal.
