FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision)

The Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) is the highest level of college football in the United States. It features the most competitive and popular programs, often with larger budgets, bigger stadiums, and more media exposure. FBS teams compete during the regular season for postseason bowl games, with the top teams vying for the national championship. Unlike the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), which uses a playoff format, the FBS primarily determines its champion through a selection process leading to major bowl games and the College Football Playoff. In essence, FBS represents the elite tier of college football competition.
