FCS teams continue to trickle up to the FBS level. In 2024, it’s Kennesaw State University that will join the highest subdivision inside of Division I, playing a full schedule of FBS opponents as a transitional member of Conference USA.
Sam Houston and Jacksonville State — also C-USA members — are completing their transition and will be fully eligible FBS members in 2025.
James Madison is fully eligible for bowl games, conference championships, and the College Football Playoff in 2024.
Naturally, BetMGM will have college football lines for all of these teams.
How Many FBS Teams Are There?
There are 134 Division I FBS college football programs, as of the 2024 season.
That number includes Kennesaw State, which will play an FBS schedule in 2024. However, it does not include Delaware, which has announced its transition to FBS but will still be playing an FCS schedule in 2024.
