You might not think it now considering the conference’s recent history, but the Big Ten was quite the powerhouse back in the day.
The Ohio State Buckeyes were the last national championship winners to come out of the Big Ten back in 2014, with their most recent appearance in the title game coming in the 2020-21 season. Outside of Ohio State, however, only five other Big Ten teams have made it to the national championship game since 2000, a tough stretch for a proud conference.
