FBS Conference Belt The Mountain West Belt

The Mountain West Belt

A companion lineage restricted to Mountain West: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Mountain West members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Mountain West at the time. Caught it by beating Utah State on November 28, 2025. Defended it 1 more time since.
