NC State Ranks Top-15 in All-Time Wins Among Schools Without a National Title

NC State heads into the 2026 football season with 652 all-time wins, which ranks 53rd nationally among FBS programs.

Dig a little deeper and there’s an even more interesting (and slightly painful) stat: the Wolfpack are tied for the 14th-most wins all-time among FBS Division-I programs without a national championship.

NC State being this high on the list says two things at once. The Wolfpack have been consistently relevant for a long time, and they’re still chasing the one thing that would knock them off this particular leaderboard.
