The Football Bowl Subdivision is the top level of college football in the United States. The NCAA divided Division I into two subdivisions based on the number of grants-in-aid (also called "scholarships") given to players. Formerly, the division was split into Division I-A and Division I-AA. Those subdivisions were renamed the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), respectively. The FBS concludes the season with a series of bowl games, each team playing a single postseason game with the top two teams meeting in the Bowl Championship Series' (BCS) National Championship Game. The FCS has a single-elimination tournament to determine its champion. FBS teams are allowed to have 85 scholarship players. The FCS has the equivalent of 63 full-ride scholarships, but unlike the FBS, these scholarships may be divided to provide partial scholarships to a number of players beyond the "limit."

FBS stands for Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly called Division I-A. This is in contrast to the FCS, or Football Championship Subdivision, formerly known as Division I-AA. The "Bowl" vs "Championship" refers to how the 2 divisions play their post-season, with the former Division I-A teams playing in bowl games and the former Division I-AA teams playing in a playoff series culminating with a true national championship game.
