FBS Conference Belt The Big 8 Belt

The Big 8 Belt

A companion lineage restricted to Big 8: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Big 8 members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Big 8 at the time. Kansas State caught it but left Big 8 — since this belt only passes among Big 8 members, it reverted back to Oklahoma on December 6, 1995.
