The Big Ten is up to 18 teams and features programs from coast to coast. The SEC has expanded from the southeast to the southwest, with Texas and Oklahoma entering the conference this fall. The ACC and Big 12 have also experienced shakeups, while the Pac-12 has effectively become a Pac-2.

In all, there are 131 FBS Division I-AA schools across 10 conferences to go along with three independent programs. All 134 teams will be looking to earn a spot in the new 12-team College Football Playoff, which will debut in December.
