First held in 2002 as the Continental Tire Bowl, the bowl game went through a series of names before Belk took over the sponsorship in 2011. The Belk Bowl holds a place dear to the hearts of football fans due to one of its game records in 2017 when the
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
gained a total of 646 yards over the
Texas A&M Aggies
. Another record is the largest comeback of 24 points during 2016's epic encounter between the
Virginia Tech Hokies
and the
Arkansas Razorbacks
in 2016. The future of the Belk Bowl holds excitement, too, because in 2020, the Big Ten Conference begins alternating with the Southeastern Conference as its opponent through 2025. The Big Ten plays even-numbered years, and the SEC plays odd-numbered years. By attending any college football game in 2019, you honor the 150th anniversary of college football, which has events throughout the season.

The University of North Carolina Tarheels hold the No. 1 spot with most appearances, and the North Carolina State Wolfpack ranks close behind with the No. 2 spot. Diehard fans should follow these two teams, though anything can happen in college football as the season progresses.
Wali Lundy, Matt Schaub and Olamide Zaccheaus are some players who have graced the Belk Bowl's MVP list since 2002.
