FBS Conference Belt The Big Sky Belt

The Big Sky Belt

A companion lineage restricted to Big Sky: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Big Sky members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Big Sky at the time. Caught it by beating UC Davis on November 16, 2024. Defended it 12 more times since.
