It's officially year two of an expanded Big Ten conference, coming after a first year that did not disappoint. The Big Ten cemented itself as arguably the best and deepest conference in college football last season, as Ohio State took home the national championship, Penn State was ever so close to making the title game, and Oregon was the No. 1 team in the nation for most of the season. Indiana even made a surprising appearance in the College Football Playoff.
Overall, the Big Ten saw five of its teams finish in the final top-25 rankings, while 12 of its 18 teams were bowl-eligible.
