The FCS and FBS have squared off every year since 1978 when Division 1 was split into Division 1-AA and Division 1-A.
The number of FCS over FBS wins has gone up and down over the years with no real trends. It has seen its highs and lows every decade.
Below are the number of FCS over FBS victories.
We’ll start in 1985 since there was a lot of movement on both sides of switching subdivisions in the early years of the D1 split.
