# 2025 Big Ten Conference football season

The 2025 Big Ten Conference football season is the 130th season of college football play for the Big Ten Conference and part of the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. This is the Big Ten's second season with 18 teams and its second season since 2010 with a non-divisional scheduling format.

## Previous season

Oregon won the Big Ten Championship Game in their first season in the league, defeating Penn State 45–37 in the first season of a division-less format. Four Big Ten teams earned spots in the 2024–25 College Football Playoff. Oregon earned the No. 1 seed in the newly expanded 12-team playoff. They were joined in the playoff by Penn State (No. 6 seed), Ohio State (No. 8 seed) and Indiana (No. 10 seed).
Besides the playoff qualifiers, eight other Big Ten football teams qualified for bowl games: Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rutgers, USC, and Washington.

## Coaching changes

The Big Ten saw one head coaching change for the 2025 season.
On December 1, 2024, Purdue announced it was parting ways with head coach Ryan Walters after going 5–19 in two seasons, including 1–11 in 2024.
One week later, on December 8, 2023, Purdue announced the hiring of Barry Odom as the next head coach, having spent the previous season coaching at UNLV.
