In FBS there are 11, with the exception of Army, Navy, and Notre Dame (Independents). These are Atlantic Coast Confrence (ACC), Big 10, Big 12, Big East, Confrence USA, Mid-America Confrence (MAC), Mountain West (MWC), Pacific 10 (Pac-10), South Eastern Confrence (SEC), Sun Belt, and Western Athletic Confrence (WAC).

However, only team fron the Big 10, Big 12, Big East, Pac-10, ACC, and Independents can compete for the National Title. Recently there had been debate over this Since Boise State (WAC), Hawaii (WAC), Texas Christian (MWC), Utah (MWC), and Tulsa (C-USA) have done very well during the season, even to go undefeated (Boise State in 2008 and Utah in 2005)

Answer 4

It depends on the sport you are talking about and the division. A conference like the Missouri Valley Conference that could be considered a major Basketball conference, wouldn't be considered one in football. A basketball mid-major like the Colonial Athletic Association is a major football conference, but in FCS (former D1AA) where they're the FCS version of say the SEC.
