FCS is Football Championship Subdivision and FBS is Football Bowl Subdivision.

Championship Subdivision for the former 1-AA teams (App. State, Murray State), because they play a playoff to decide their championships.

Bowl Subdivision for the former 1-A teams (like Michigan, USC, Florida) because they all play in bowls.

It is a recent term for Football Championship Subdivision. Smaller schools, for the most part, North Dakota State is the reigning champion. Instead of bowl games, there is a “playoffs” system in place.
