The NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), formerly known as Division I-A, is the top level of college football in the United States. The FBS is the more competitive subdivision of NCAA Division I, which itself consists of the largest and most competitive schools in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). As of 2014, there are ten conferences and 128 schools in the FBS. Despite the popularity of the professional National Football League, college football is very popular throughout much of the United States, and the top schools generate tens of millions of dollars in yearly revenue. Top FBS teams draw tens of thousands of fans to games, and the ten largest American stadiums by capacity all host FBS teams. College athletes are not paid, and colleges are only allowed to provide players with non-monetary compensation such as athletic scholarships that provide for tuition, housing, and books.
Overview
The FBS is the highest level of college football in the United States, and FBS players make up the vast majority of the players picked in the NFLDraft. For every sport but football, the NCAA divides schools into three major divisions: NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III. However, in football, Division I is further divided into two sub-divisions: the Bowl Subdivision, abbreviated as the FBS, and the Championship Subdivision, abbreviated as the FCS. Divisions are themselves further divided up into conferences, which are groupings of schools that play each other in contention for a conference championship. The FBS currently has ten conferences, which are often divided into the "Power Five conferences" and the less prominent "Group of Five."
Division I (D-I) is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the United States. D-I schools include the major collegiate athletic powers, with larger budgets, more elaborate facilities, and more athletic scholarships than Divisions II and III as well as many smaller schools committed to the highest level of intercollegiate competition.
College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS
A college footballnational championship in the highest level of play in the United States, currently the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), is a designation awarded annually by various organizations to their selection of the best college football team. Division I FBS football is the only NCAA sport for which the NCAA does not sanction a yearly championship event. As such, it is sometimes unofficially referred to as a "mythical national championship".
Due to the lack of an official NCAA title, determining the nation's top college football team has often engendered controversy. A championship team is independently declared by multiple individuals and organizations, often referred to as "selectors". These choices are sometimes not unanimous. While the NCAA has never officially endorsed a championship team, it has documented the choices of some selectors in its official NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Records publication. In addition, various analysts have independently published their own choices for each season. These opinions can often diverge with others as well as individual schools' claims to national titles, which may or may not correlate to the selections published elsewhere.

Few people like that college players are now age-group professional athletes (I have long suggested “young pros’’ as their title rather than the silly mouthful NCAADivision I Football Bowl Subdivision players), but the courts have mandated it.
Contractual arrangements lie with the conference/institution and the bowl partner and are not the authority of the NCAA or Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee.
Of the roughly 15,000 football players who suited up for one of the 134 NCAADivision I Football Bowl Subdivision teams this season, only four remain to claim college football's most prestigious prize.
Most of this bonanza comes courtesy of ESPN, which is forking over $1.3 billion a year to televise the new postseason for the Football Bowl Subdivision, NCAADivision I's highest tier.
About 15 years ago, Villanova seemed primed for a climb to the NCAADivision I Football Bowl Subdivision. The Wildcats had won the 2009 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision title and reached the semifinals in 2010.
