The Full History (FBS)
Every reign since Rutgers beat Princeton on November 6, 1869 — 332 of them, computed from 1,621 belt games across 105 programs. Type a team name to filter; tap a team to jump to the game that won it. The FBS belt is the real belt through the 1977 season — there was one Division I before the 1978 split — and from 1978 on only games between two FBS-conference members count, judged by the conference each side was in that season, so a program that moves up or down takes its games with it.
