Some may recall as part of promotional effort for a sports betting site before the gov't clamped down on online betting around 08/09 I created the LeGit National Championship Title.
I expanded on the idea of a boxing/wrestling type title belt, winner takes all championship. I went back to the first 11 on 11 football game, that game was the first title match and followed the belt game by game to present day.
I instituted a couple rules to keep the belt at the highest level of collegiate competition. Mainly being only academic institutions that competed at the highest level of collegiate football are eligible to hold the belt. This eliminated a title loss by Yale pre-1900 to a club team and eliminated the military base teams during WWII.
Arkansas last held the belt in 2007 after beating LSU in 30T and promptly gave it up to Mizzou in that abortion of a Cotton Bowl that I thankfully was too hungover to have watched more than about 35 seconds of.
TCU has held the belt since Nov. 27 of last year beating Baylor 28-21 to win the belt back. TCU lost the belt to Oklahoma St. on Nov. 7, 2015 after successfully defending the belt 12 times after winning it from West Virginia on Nov. 1, 2014. Oct. 4th of 2014 TCU beat Oklahoma to win the belt. They dropped it to Baylor the very next week who lost it to WVU the next week who then lost it to TCU 2 weeks following.
The Big 12 has circle jerked the belt around since 2011 when stupid Auburn lost the belt to Clemson early in the season and Clemson gave it up to West Virginia in that epic 70-33 Orange Bowl beatdown.
We have a chance Saturday to bring the belt back home to the SEC where it rightfully belongs. Only a couple times in the history of the LeGit National Championship has the belt not naturally gravitated to the best team and we're currently in those of eras of paper champions due to shitty Auburn.
There's a lot to play for on Saturday least of which is my favorite team icon. Bring me home Hogs.

Had no idea you were behind this. That's awesome. I've been checking the championship belt site periodically over the last several years.
