The Top 25

College Football Belt Champions

 

January 2007 -- While the Florida Gators bask in their championship win during the off-season, we will review the Top 25 Belt champions since 1972.  This ranking is based on several factors including a team's won/loss records, opponents, & Belt wins.  The ranking is restricted to a single season so teams that held the title over an off-season can appear in the rankings multiple times; once for each regular season.  Special emphasis is placed on Belt wins as I believe that it is harder to remain champion when you are marked as the champion.  This is not necessarily a ranking of the best teams but of the best champions.  As everyone knows, these list are created to generate interest & conversation.  We love to hear feedback on the champions & encourage you to provide your view as well.  Please use the new blog that we have added to offer your comments.
