FBS Conference Belt The Big 12 Belt

The Big 12 Belt

A companion lineage restricted to Big 12: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Big 12 members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Big 12 at the time. Caught it by beating BYU on November 8, 2025. Defended it 3 more times since.
