After less than a full season, the Baylor Bears have recaptured the belt ([history of the belt](http://collegefootballbelt.com/2004/Games.htm)). How long do they get to keep it? (New rule : the next thread should be started by someone who picks right.) ---

I’m going with Oklahoma. Bill Watts and Jim Ross said it’s a lock. 😃 ---

The poll did not get posted in time: it expires in the middle of the next game (WV). I guess I will have to record all the picks right before the game starts. ---

Unless you figure WV has a chance I wouldn’t sweat it. But I know the feeling from not counting the days right! 🙂 It might be a really fun ride for The Belt to change hands every week this year. Not likely; just fun. If I can remember to do it, I’ll take a snapshot just before game time in case it becomes an issue. Thanks for taking the initiative on this one! ---
