Labels can be deceiving.
The labels on North Dakota State and Eastern Washington say FCS for Football Championship Subdivision, Division I second-tier. The reality is there are about 125 FCS programs and the range of quality is as great as the difference between the best teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision (aka tier 1) and the worst.
The FCS has won eight games against FBS opponents during the opening weekend of college football. The most notable by two--time defending champion North Dakota State, which beat Kansas State on Friday night, and Eastern Washington, which knocked off No. 25 Oregon State on Saturday.
North Dakota State coach Craig Bohl says maybe it's time to "get rid of some lines and start looking at some programs."
