The rule

The belt is born the week the first AP poll comes out, in October 1936, held by that poll's No. 1.

Everything before the poll era is prehistory to most fans. This universe starts the lineage where the arguments started. Minnesota was No. 1 in the first AP poll of 1936 (week 1); the belt starts in their hands going into their next game, 1936-09-26.

The two histories part ways on September 26, 1936: Minnesota 14–7 Washington, a game the real belt was never on the line for. From there the universes have agreed on the holder 100% of the time, most recently on October 13, 2026. Right now the two agree: Notre Dame holds both.
