FBS Conference Belt The Big West Belt

The Big West Belt

A companion lineage restricted to Big West: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Big West members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Big West at the time. Fresno State caught it but left Big West — since this belt only passes among Big West members, it reverted back to San José State on December 2, 2000.
