NEW ORLEANS — In the official NCAA Division I Football Record Book, there is no section listing national champions of the highest level of the sport: the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Having never been involved in hosting an FBS championship, the governing body of college athletics does not recognize title winners in the same way it does for every other sport. The FCS record book, for instance, features a chapter devoted to FCS Playoff winners. The men’s basketball record book has a section about March Madness participants and champions.
But the FBS? Nothing.
However, the NCAA has added to its website a link to a page listing FBS champions determined by the most respected polls of that particular era.
