About the Record Book

College Football Belt’s record book distills more than a century of championship lineage into a quick reference for the curious fan. The summary at the top ranks programs by record book superlatives: the longest reign, teams that have piled up wins, and those that keep falling short. Beneath those highlights, the page explores broader trends. The 'Top 5 Most Played Belt Matchups' table showcases rivalries that have repeatedly influenced the belt's path, revealing traditional powers and regional battles. Another list calls out major FBS programs that have never captured the title, a reminder of how elusive the belt can be. Use these tables alongside the All Teams Records directory to study how individual schools stack up and identify surprising underperformers. For a fuller narrative about how the belt originated and why fans track it, visit the about page. Together these resources provide a compact yet meaningful history of the sport's most itinerant championship. Whether you're scanning for the dominant dynasties or tracing obscure upsets, the record book turns decades of box scores into a digestible snapshot.
