See if you can get it without looking.
Can a college football game end in a score of 1-0?
ETA: In regulation, no OT.

If so it wouldn't be in regulation since there's no standalone 1 point score.
But I don't have the mechanism.

Forfeit

Outside of a forfeit, which has already been mentioned (and that's just for record keeping purposes) I can't come up with the 1-0; scenario.
I know there's a very rare 1 point safety but that can, as far as I know, only happen as the result of a PAT kick or 2 point conversion attempt, so there would have to be a TD first.

There is a 1 point safety, but I think it’s a weird outcome of a PAT

There is a 1 point safety. But, as someone said, it can only happen on a point after try, so the answer is no, you can't have a 1-0 game in regulation.
A team could end the game with a score of 1, but the other team would have at least 6.

Taking this one step further. Given the current rules, could you have a 1-0 game in overtime?
0-0 in regulation.
Both teams miss FGs in 1st and 2nd OTs so you move to alternating 2 point tries with the score still 0-0. Team with the ball turns it over, does that end the try immediately or could the defender step back into the end zone and be tackled/step out for the 1 point safety?

I'm not sure how deep the rule gets and I guess that scenario has not happened. But, the rule states it happens on a point after try. So if point after attempts are now part of the overtime rule, I would think technically it is possible. The odds are probably like getting eaten by a Bigfoot.
The 1-point safety has never happened in the NFL and only a couple of times in college. It has to be a clusterfrick of a play for it to happen.
