second division
Below the top
Second division refers to a lower tier or rank, particularly in British football (soccer) where leagues are organized into hierarchical divisions.
Teams in the second division compete below the top flight, with promotion and relegation moving clubs between levels.
More broadly, second division describes anything not quite first-rate: a second-division talent, second-division accommodations.
