Rankings from AP Poll

The 2017 NCAA Division I FBS Football Season will be the highest level of college football competition in the United States organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level in 2017. The regular season will begin on August 26, 2017 and ending on December 9, 2017. The postseason will conclude on January 8, 2018 with the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship in Atlanta. This is the fourth season of the College Football Playoff championship system.

Coastal Carolina will be in the second year of its FBS transition. It will be counted as an FBS opponent for scheduling purposes, but will not be bowl-eligible until 2018.

Idaho and New Mexico State will play their final seasons as football members of the Sun Belt Conference. Idaho will also be playing its last season at the FBS level. Following the 2016 decision of the Sun Belt not to extend its football membership agreements with the two schools after their 2017 expirations, Idaho announced that it would downgrade to FCS, adding football to its membership in the Big Sky Conference. New Mexico State will tentatively revert to FBS independent status for 2018 and beyond.

Two schools will move to new stadiums for the 2017 season:

Several other schools plan to debut major improvements to their existing venues for 2017:

This is restricted to coaching coaches taking place on or after May 1, 2017. For Coaching Changes that occurred earlier in 2017, see 2016 NCAA Division I FBS end-of-season coaching changes.
