. . . so I guess you would say that Grambling plays major college football . . .

Oof. Poor take. But wild to think that a fcs school had an opportunity to make a national impact more so than the Cajuns.

[CajunVic]

If I may:
The NCAA has 3 different levels of football:
Division 1, divided into FBS and FCS.

Division 2

Division 3

Each division has its own championship.
If college football was all major college football, there would be only one championship for all college football.

. . . and which one does Louisiana play in . . .

. . . wait, wait, wait . . . you are not being consistent . . . so, let's quit playing around and take the LSU schedule and tell us which games are playing major college football and which ones are not . . . I believe we will find out a lot if anyone would dare to go there, but you are all scared . . .

[lafman1]

. . . my point is that we don't play major college footballs in some years and not in others or in some games and not in others, we either play major college football or not . . . same with our other sports . . . you can argue that Vanderbilt has very seldom had an impact on the national landscape in football, do they not play major college football . . . and I could go on and on . . . so, please, anyone who believes that Louisiana does not play major college football, take the test . . . don't be scared . . .

I have.

[CajunVic]

I have.

. . . not here you haven't . . .

[lafman1]

. . . and which one does Louisiana play in . . .

Division 1, G5

[lafman1]

. . . not here you haven't . . .

I most certainly have

Division 1, G5

Division 1 FBS is correct.

G5 is not an official term used by the offiical regulating agency that decides levels of college football.

So, if one were to ask what is considered "major college football", one would be forced to say that would be D1 FBS as it is the highest level of play recognized by law.

Sometimes, people like to use BCS/CFP history as a measuring stick for levels of play for schools and conferences. This is wrong.

There is a national champion recognized by the NCAA in every level of college football except D1 FBS. The reason is that there is no playoff format approved for FBS by the NCAA. No champion is ever determined.

The BCS/CFP have always been invitational tournaments. Participation lists of these tourneys are useless to determine what is "major" because half of FBS schools are not even invited to participate.

Division 1 FBS is correct.

The NCAA also doesn’t recognize the term mid-major, but is used in everyday conversation.
