Every FCS Over FBS Win

Well, the FCS defeating FBS teams is what this website is all about, right?

Below is a breakdown of FCS over FBS wins since 1978. Clicking on any of the years will show a detailed list of the wins for each season. The winning team, losing team, and scores are all provided for each year. The scores were obtained from Sports-Reference as they have all scores involving I-A or FBS teams including if they faced an I-AA or FCS opponent. We also used College Football Results for references to teams transitioning from Division II to I-AA/FCS. A searchable database of the results can be found here.

The list below does not match what can be found on the NCAA website at this link. Why? It is a bit of a weird answer. We compared the list of teams and games cultivated on our own and compared them to what’s included in the NCAA’s own classification history, which can be found here (current as of 2022). So the two should match up, right?

Nope. We believe that the NCAA is applying transitional teams inconsistently while also including Division II wins over FBS teams in some cases. For example, Delaware is listed three times on the NCAA website in 1978 with victories over Villanova, William & Mary, and Colgate. However, Delaware was still a member at the Division II level and did not move up to the 1AA/FCS level until 1980. This information comes straight from the NCAA’s own documents.

In most cases, we use the years listed in the NCAA documents but we also use team data, hence why there might be a discrepancy. In other cases, such as when MAC teams were considered I-AA in 1982, we did not include those as I-AA/FCS upsets. Notes are provided for some seasons that need further explanations. We have a specific page dedicated to the differences between our list of FCS upsets and the NCAA’s list.

Here’s a graphical summary of the information that can be found in the table below. Within the table, click the year below to bring you to the list of FCS over FBS wins for that season.

For each year below, the I-AA/FCS teams that won or tied against an FBS opponent are bolded and italicized. The number of FCS over FBS victories is provided in parenthesis next to the year so you don’t have to scroll back and forth. Furthermore, team names have been standardized to the current program name (e.g. Northeast Louisiana is now Louisiana-Monroe, Southwestern Louisiana is now simply Louisiana, etc.).

Clicking on the year will bring you to a separate page giving more detail on that season regarding the conference, program changes, and, of course, the list of FCS over FBS wins.
