Rutgers and Princeton played their first intercollegiate football game on November 6, 1869, and only those two schools can trace back the history of their programs that far. Of course, at the time the sport much more closely resembled soccer than modern football.

What was the name of the first college football team?

The name of the first team would be up for debate since there had to be two teams to actually play football. Rutgers and Princeton played the first game in 1869. I am not aware that one claims to have organized before the other. When the games were first being played, Rutgers teams were the "Queensmen". I am not aware of Princeton's team name. There must be two teams so that begs the question, which of the two teams involved in the first "football" game organized first? The game, in 1869 was between Princeton University and the Rutgers University Queensmen. I am unaware of Princeton calling their teams by any formal name at the time. Whether that was considered "college football" is up to interpretation since it was more akin to rugby.
