As one of the Power 4 conferences in college football, the Big Ten is well represented across the 2025 postseason.
Of the Big Ten’s 18 programs, three claimed spots in the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket and an additional nine teams won at least six games to become bowl eligible. Just six teams missed out on the postseason entirely: Rutgers (5–7), Wisconsin (4–8), Maryland (4–8), Michigan State (4–8), UCLA (3–9) and Purdue (2–10).
