The
2006–07 NCAA football bowl games concluded the
2006 NCAA Division I FBS football season in
college football. The
NCAA divided
Division I into two divisions for football in 1978. The top level, originally known as "Division I-A" and officially changed to the "Football Bowl Subdivision" in 2006, includes teams that play in bowl games. The second level, originally known as "Division I-AA" and renamed the "Football Championship Subdivision" in 2006, consists of smaller schools and conferences, most of which play in a playoff system (although a few conferences, such as the
Ivy League, choose not to participate in the playoff). The larger schools, who do not have a playoff system, concludes with a series of
bowl games that have developed as a reward for teams that do well in the regular season.
