The conference began its season on Thursday, August 29, as Minnesota and Indiana began their 2013 season of NCAA Division I FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) competition. Michigan State began their season the following day, and the rest of the conference began their season on September 1. This was the league's final season as a 12-team conference before Maryland and Rutgers join the Big Ten Conference for the 2014 season. It was also the final season with the "Leaders" and "Legends" divisions; when Maryland and Rutgers join, the conference will reorganize its divisions on a pure geographic basis. The six schools in the Central Time Zone will be 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 Michigan State upset undefeated Ohio State to win the Big Ten Championship Game.

All-Americans There are many outlets that award All-America honors in football. 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.https://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/ncaa/resources/stats/statistics+policies NCAA Consensus All-America selection 2011-12-10 https://web.archive.org/web/20120103181529/http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/NCAA/Resources/Stats/Statistics+Policies 2012-01-03 dead 2013 College Football All-America Team 2013 First Team All-Americans Player School Position Selector Ryan Shazier Ohio State LB USA Today, Athlon Sports, ESPN, AP, SI, Phil Steele Darqueze Dennard Michigan State DB USA Today, Athlon Sports, Walter Camp, Sporting News, ESPN, AP, CBS Sports, SI, AFCA, FWAA, Phil Steele Jeff Budzien Northwestern PK Bleacher Report, Sporting News Allen Robinson Penn State WR Sporting News, CBS Sports, Phil Steele Taylor Lewan Michigan OL Sporting News Jack Mewhort Ohio State OL ESPN Mike Sadler Michigan State P ESPN, CBS Sports Chris Borland Wisconsin LB FWAA, Phil Steele Academic All-Americans Once again the Big Ten led all conferences with eight student-athletes being named to the Capital One Academic All-America first or second teams as announced by CoSIDA.
