College football keeps referring to "FBS" stats?

[techs]

I noticed that they were referring to FBS stats during the game this weekend.
What is FBS?

Yea the FBS and FCS is retarded. Most of us still call it 1A and 1AA.

It should be noted that the FCS does have a playoff. Any FBS school that really wanted a playoff could join FCS. There are currently more FCS schools then FBS schools.
