About

The College Football Belt is a fan-created championship system inspired by boxing's title belt concept. The first-ever college football game established an original champion, and that "belt" has been defended in every game since, changing hands when the current holder loses.

  • The belt holder defends their title in every game
  • Any team that defeats the belt holder becomes the new champion
