Highest college football (fcs) by state

Second-tier college football teams.

Football Championship Subdivision programmes, the second tier of college football, counted separately from the FBS tier. Twelve states have no FCS programme at all, so a zero here is often correct rather than missing. Clubs are placed in the county their stadium is in.
