It is the first time since 1987 the NCAA Division I Football Championship has been expanded then from 12 teams to 16 teams. In addition 10 of the 14 FCS conferences will receive automatic bids into the tournament the Big South and Northeast Conferences gaining automatic berths. Entering 2010 there are 124 programs competing in football at the Division I FCS level. PFL COULD RECEIVE AT-LARGE BID IN 2010: While the PFL did not receive a automatic qualifying spot into the 2010 championship, the league could still receive what would amount to an automatic at-large bid. Under criteria established by the championship committee, the PFL champion could receive an automatic at-large bid if it meets three criteria. First, it must win eight games against Division I opposition. Secondly, it must win two games against opponents from the 10 automatic qualifying conferences. Finally, it must finish the season ranked among the top 20 in the polls as calculated by the championship committee. DIVISION I FCS, PLEASE: Although some people may accidentally still refer to it as I-AA football, the term that represents the level of Division I football in which the Pioneer Football League competes has been retired.

FCS is the only Division I football rank to host a NCAAsponsored national championship (one of 88 championships the NCAA sponsors).

Teams who play at the FCS level can offer a maximum of 63 scholarships (FBS teams can offer 85) and compete in a 20-team playoff at the end of the season to determine the national champion.
