College Football Conference Teams
Keeping a pulse on all College Football Conference Teams isn’t easy since, the number continues to grow and schools are shuffling between conferences. Currently, the College Football Bowl Subdivision or FBS, has 134 Division I Teams, divided into 10 conferences, with three independent schools.
For College Football Conference enthusiasts, there are plenty of other teams to follow in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Those 129 teams fall into 13 conferences.
It’s quite common to see FCS and FBS schools meet during the regular season. That often happens early in the season in so-called cupcake matchups for the larger FCS programs, with big point spreads.
Prior to the 2024-25 season, one advantage the FCS held was that it had a true playoff for its champion, with 24 teams in the field. But the FBS now has a 12-team College Football Playoff.
What Are The Most Important College Football Conferences?
The College Football Playoff crowns the top team each season. Prior to the 2024-25 season, that team always came from a Power Five Conference. But with the demolition of the Pac-12, it's now Power Four Conference teams ruling the CFP, with 67 schools in all.
Power Four
- ACC
- Big Ten
- Big 12
- SEC
Group of Five
Every now and then, we’ll see a Group of Five school make some noise with an undefeated record. Among Group of Five schools that get notice on the national stage are Central Florida and Boise State. The Power Five conferences:
- American Athletic
- Conference USA
- Mid-American (MAC)
- Mountain West
- Sun Belt
Independents
There is also another group of teams that aren’t affiliated with a conference, falling into the Independent category. Notre Dame is the most prestigious of this group and in 2024-25 made the 12-team College Football Playoff. The Independents:
- Liberty
- Massachusetts
- Notre Dame
