The conference began its season on Thursday, August 28, as Minnesota and Rutgers opened their seasons. The remainder of the teams in the conference began their season on August 30. This was the Big Ten's first season with 14 teams as Maryland and Rutgers joined the conference. It was also the first season with the two seven-team divisions; when Maryland and Rutgers joined, the conference reorganized its divisions on a pure geographic basis. The six schools in the Central Time Zone were joined by Purdue in the new West Division, with the other schools making up the East Division. Under the new setup, the only protected cross-division rivalry game will be Indiana–Purdue.https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/9191768/big-ten-conference-realign-teams-replace-division-names-east-west-sources-say Sources: Big Ten to realign divisions Brett McMurphy Adam Rittenberg ESPN.com April 19, 2013 April 19, 2013 Ohio State routed Wisconsin, 59–0, to win 2014 Big Ten Football Championship Game in Indianapolis.

For the first time in several years, the Big Ten finished the season with two consensus top-five teams.

The NCAA uses five official selectors to also determine Consensus and Unanimous All-America honors. The five teams used by the NCAA to compile the consensus team are from the Associated Press, the AFCA, the FWAA, The Sporting News and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. A point system is used to calculate the consensus honors. The point system consists of three points for first team, two points for second team and three points for third team. No honorable mention or fourth team or lower are used in the computation. The teams are compiled by position and the player accumulating the most points at each position is named a Consensus All-American. If there is a tie at a position in football for first team then the players who are tied shall be named to the team. A player named first-team by all five of the NCAA-recognized selectors is recognized as a Unanimous All-American.http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/NCAA/Resources/Stats/Statistics+Policies 2010-11 NCAA Statistics Policies(updated 9/15/2010) - NCAA.org January 3, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120103181529/http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/NCAA/Resources/Stats/Statistics+Policies 2012-01-03 2014 College Football All-America Team 2014 First Team All-Americans Player School Position Selector Melvin Gordon Wisconsin RB CBS Sports, USA Today, Walter Camp, ESPN, Athlon Sports, SB Nation, AP, Scout, SI, AFCA, Sporting News, FWAA, Phil Steele Tevin Coleman Indiana RB CBS Sports, USA Today, Walter Camp, ESPN, Athlon Sports, SB Nation, AP, Scout, SI, AFCA, Sporting News, FWAA, Phil Steele Maxx Williams Minnesota TE Sporting News, FWAA, Phil Steele Brandon Scherff Iowa OT CBS Sports, USA Today, Walter Camp, Athlon Sports, SB Nation, AP, Scout, SI, AFCA, Sporting News, FWAA, Phil Steele Kyle Costigan Wisconsin OG ESPN Rob Havenstein Wisconsin OT AFCA Jack Allen Michigan State C USA Today Joey Bosa Ohio State DE CBS Sports, USA Today, Walter Camp, Athlon Sports, SB Nation, AP, Scout, AFCA, Sporting News, FWAA, Phil Steele Michael Bennett Ohio State DT CBS Sports, SB Nation Kurtis Drummond Michigan State CB FWAA, Phil Steele Brad Craddock Maryland PK Phil Steele Joey Bosa, Tevin Coleman, Melvin Gordon and Brandon Scherff were declared Unanimous All-Americans for 2014 having been named to the First Teams by all five selectors recognized by the NCAA (Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association, Football Writers Association of America, Walter Camp, Sporting News) Academic All-Americans Six Big Ten student-athletes were named to the Capital One Academic All-America first or second teams in football as announced by CoSIDA.
