FCS Conference Belt The Patriot Belt

The Patriot Belt

A companion lineage restricted to Patriot: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Patriot members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Patriot at the time. Caught it by beating Holy Cross on November 9, 2024. Defended it 12 more times since.
