2019 Big Ten Conference football season
Sports season
The 2019 Big Ten conference football season was the 124th season of college football play for the Big Ten Conference and was part of the 2019 NCAA Division I FBS football season .
This was the Big Ten's sixth season with 14 teams. The defending league champion was Ohio State . The 2019 season consisted of a nine-game conference schedule for the fourth year in a row.[ 1]
The Big Ten had two new coaches for the 2019 season. Ohio State promoted offensive coordinator Ryan Day to head coach, replacing Urban Meyer who retired at the end of the 2018 season.[ 2] Maryland also had a new coach for 2019, hiring Mike Locksley to replace D. J. Durkin , who was fired in 2018[ 3] ultimately due to the events that led to the death of player Jordan McNair .
The first coaching change during the 2019 season came on September 29, 2019 when Rutgers dismissed Chris Ash . Tight ends coach Nunzio Campanile served as interim coach for the remainder of the 2019 season.[ 4] Then on December 1, Rutgers announced that former coach Greg Schiano would return to coach the team in 2020.[ 5]
On the field of play, Ohio State won the East Division title and made their fifth appearance in the Big Ten Football Championship Game and third consecutive appearance. In the West Division, Wisconsin and Minnesota tied for the division title, but the Badgers represented the division in the conference title game due to their head-to-head win over the Golden Gophers. Wisconsin made their sixth appearance in the conference title game overall. In that championship game, Ohio State defeated Wisconsin 34-21 to win their third consecutive Big Ten championship. With that win, the Buckeyes landed a spot in the 2019-20 College Football Playoff as the #2 seed.[ 6]
Previous season
Ohio State defeated Northwestern, 45–24, in the Big Ten Football Championship Game .[ 7] The win gave the Buckeyes their second consecutive Big Ten championship.
Nine teams participated in bowl games in the 2018 season and the league 5–4 in those games, however the Big Ten failed to land a team in the College Football Playoff for the second straight year.
Minnesota defeated Georgia Tech , 34–10 in the Quick Lane Bowl .[ 8] Wisconsin defeated Miami (FL) , 35–3, in the Pinstripe Bowl .[ 9] Purdue lost to Auburn , 63–14, in the Music City Bowl .[ 10] Michigan State lost to Oregon , 7–6, in the Redbox Bowl .[ 11] Northwestern defeated No. 20 Utah , 31–20, in the Holiday Bowl .[ 12] Iowa defeated No. 18 Mississippi State , 27–22, in the Outback Bowl .[ 13] No. 13 Penn State lost to No. 16 Kentucky , 27–24, in the Citrus Bowl .[ 14]

The Big Ten conducted its annual media days at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Chicago Magnificent Mile in Chicago, IL on July 23–24. The event commenced with a speech by Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany , and all 14 teams sent their head coaches and two selected players to speak with members of the media. The event along with all speakers and interviews were broadcast live on the Big Ten Network . The teams and representatives in respective order were as follows:
The Big Ten Media Days concluded with its annual preseason media polls in early August. Since 1992, the credentialed media has gotten the preseason champion correct just five times. Only eight times has the preseason pick even made it to the Big Ten title game. Below are the results of the media poll with total points received next to each school and first-place votes in parentheses. For the 2019 poll, Michigan was voted as the favorite to win both the East Division and the Big Ten Championship Game.[ 20]

All-Americans
The 2019 College Football All-America Team is composed of the following College Football All-American first teams chosen by the following selector organizations: Associated Press (AP), Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Walter Camp Foundation (WCFF), The Sporting News (TSN ), Sports Illustrated (SI ), USA Today (USAT) ESPN , CBS Sports (CBS), FOX Sports (FOX) College Football News (CFN ), Bleacher Report (BR), Scout.com , Phil Steele (PS), SB Nation (SB), Athlon Sports , Pro Football Focus (PFF), The Athletic , and Yahoo! Sports (Yahoo!).
Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams in the sports of Division I-FBS football and Division I men's basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources. The system consists of three points for a first-team honor, two points for second-team honor, and one point for third-team honor. Honorable mention and fourth team or lower recognitions are not accorded any points. Football consensus teams are compiled by position and the player accumulating the most points at each position is named first team consensus all-American. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN , and the WCFF to determine Consensus and Unanimous All-Americans. Any player named to the First Team by all five of the NCAA-recognized selectors is deemed a Unanimous All-American.[ 37] [ 38]
