For the one person (probably me) on the board who actually cares and the two people who thinks tracking it is interesting: Texas has now held the Life Championship for three weeks. BUT, the really interesting part is that Tennessee now has its best chance in years to retake the title. If Texas wins out until they face Georgia and then if Georgia beats them and wins out until its game with Tennessee, the Tennessee-Georgia matchup will be for the Life Championship. As of right now, according to ESPN CFPI, there is a 12% chance this will happen and a 5.5% chance the Vols will retake it.

Am I correct in thinking Florida is the current holder after taking it from Ole Miss?
Ole Miss couldn't hold the belt due to being ranked.

EDIT: After looking at his chart, it looks like that rule has been ignored.

The rules for the Life Championship belt were simple:​

  1. If you beat the current Life Champ, you became the Life Champ. That gave the belt a chance to traverse the entire country in one season.
  2. However, being the Life Champ is only an honor for teams that are not actually likely to be the champions of anything. Therefore, any team that was ranked in the AP Poll was ineligible. A ranking reverted the belt to Tennessee, so long as Tennessee was unranked. (Obviously, we didn’t have to worry about that so much.)
  3. If both the latest winner and Tennessee were ranked, or if a ranked team took the belt off Tennessee, then we’d make up another rule on the spot. This included our reserving the right to give Tennessee the belt forever upon Jones’ firing, which has now happened.
