FCS Teams
The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of NCAA Football
08 feature 79 Division I FCS (Football Championship Sub-
division) teams from nine conferences: Atlantic 10, Big
Sky, Ivy League, Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC),
Gateway Football, Ohio Valley, Southern, Southland and
Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).
In terms of structure and content, the FCS team profi les
are similar to the FBS profi les. When comparing FCS and
FBS teams, you’ll notice that
the FCS Report Card grades
and prestige ratings are
rather low compared to FBS
teams (the notable excep-
tion being the academic
ratings of some schools,
particularly those in the Ivy
League).
However, those low
grades and rankings do not
mean that FCS teams play
poorly. It merely refl ects
the relative disparity between the two divisions. As one
can imagine, an FCS school is almost always at a disad-
vantage when playing against an FBS school. Still, upsets
are indeed possible and have happened numerous times
in recent history—but it’ll take smart play calling and
mistake-free gameplay.
Something else you’ll notice in the FCS depth charts is
the reduced roster total for most teams. While all FCS
teams have three impact players, there are fewer substi-
tutes available for many positions.
While FBS schools have school-specifi c playbooks, the
default playbooks of FCS schools are based on one of six
fairly self-explanatory playbook templates: Balanced Pass,
Pass Heavy, Run and Gun, Balanced Run, Option Run and
West Coast.
In addition, FCS teams in Dynasty Mode have the
3-3-5 as the default defensive playbook; the defensive
scouting reports in this section list a suggested alterna-
tive defensive playbook to choose instead.
Appalachian State has
been the FCS champion
the past two seasons.
