FBS Conference Belt The Mountain State Belt

The Mountain State Belt

A companion lineage restricted to Mountain State: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Mountain State members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Mountain State at the time. BYU caught it but left Mountain State — since this belt only passes among Mountain State members, it reverted back to Utah on December 5, 1947.
