FBS Conference Belt The Big East Belt

The Big East Belt

A companion lineage restricted to Big East: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Big East members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Big East at the time. Temple caught it but left Big East — since this belt only passes among Big East members, it reverted back to Pittsburgh on December 21, 2012.
