Best Answer

FCS stands for Football Championship Subdivision and FBS stands for Football Bowl Subdivision.

Teams in the FBS, formerly known as Division 1-A, determine their champion via ratings, both human and computer. The two teams that are at the top of the ratings at the end of the season play in the National Championship Game to determine a champion. Other teams high in the ratings play in bowl games (Rose, Orange, Sugar, etc) for huge payoffs that are shared with all teams in the conference the team plays in. Colleges that play in the FBS are large schools (Ohio State, Southern California, Notre Dame, LSU, etc) with large enrollments and large athletic departments

Teams in the FCS, formerly known as Division 1-AA, determine their champion via a playoff where the champion must win 4 or 5 playoff games (based on the team's seeding). Colleges that play in the FCS are smaller schools (William and Mary, Eastern Washington, Montana State, Robert Morris, etc) with smaller enrollments and athletic budgets
