Who has the longest home winning streak in college football?
By Josie Rohach
The longest home winning streak in college football today belongs to the Clemson Tigers.
When it comes to playing dominant college football at home, the Clemson Tigers are unmatched. They currently have the longest active home winning streak of 30 straight victories in Death Valley.
It has been almost five years since college football fans in Clemson, South Carolina left the stadium without the outcome they wanted. On Nov. 12, 2016, they fell by one point to the Pittsburgh Panthers in a surprising 43-42 loss.
Since then, Clemson has gone on to wreak havoc on whoever is unlucky enough to test the Tigers on their home turf. In the 2019 and 2020 seasons, Clemson outscored their opponents at home by an average of 32.6 points. They kept the huge win margins alive with their home opener this year, beating South Carolina State 49-3 before a less impressive 14-8 win over Georgia Tech.

The Clemson Tigers hold college football’s longest active home winning streak
Not far behind Clemson is Notre Dame with an active 26 game win streak at home that the Irish last added to with a 27-13 win over Purdue in Week 3. Ohio State saw their preseason third best 23 game streak snapped in Week 2 with a confusing 35-28 loss to Oregon at home in Columbus. That leaves Cincinnati with the new third-longest home winning record at 23 games heading into a Week 4 away.
The record-holding Clemson Tigers will look to continue their success at home on October 2 in their homecoming contest against Boston College. They’ll have to keep on pace if they want to break the all-time record for consecutive home success: 58 straight wins at home for the Miami Hurricanes from 1985-94.
