The 2020 Big Ten conference football season was postponed indefinitely due to coronavirus concerns,[1] but it would have been the 125th season of college football play for the Big Ten Conference and part of the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season.

This would have been the Big Ten's seventh season with 14 teams. The defending league champion is Ohio State. On July 9, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Big Ten announced that all competition in fall sports, including football, will be played exclusively in-conference, in order to "have the greatest flexibility to adjust its own operations throughout the season and make quick decisions in real-time". An updated 10-game conference-only schedule was released on August 5,2020.[2] On August 11, 2020, the conference formally announced the postponement of 2020 fall sports season but stated that it would continue to evaluate options including competition in spring 2021.[3]

The Big Ten will have two new coaches for the 2020 season. Rutgers hired former coach Greg Schiano to serve as head coach, replacing Chris Ash who was fired during the 2019 season.[4] Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio announced on February 4, 2020, that he was retiring from his position. The Spartans announced the hiring of Mel Tucker as the new head coach on February 12, 2020.[5]

Previous season

On the field of play last season, 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]

Nine teams participated in bowl games in the 2018 season, and the league went 5–4 in those games. Ohio State made the College Football Playoff but fell to Clemson 29–23 in the Fiesta Bowl.

Preseason media polls

Below are the results of the media poll with total points received next to each school and first-place votes in parentheses. For the 2020 poll, Ohio State was voted as the favorite to win both the East Division and the Big Ten Championship Game. This is the 10th iteration of the preseason media poll conducted by Cleveland.com, which polls at least one credentialed media member for each Big Ten team. Only twice in the last ten years has the media accurately predicted the Big Ten champion.[7]

Regular Season Schedule

The Regular season was scheduled to begin on September 3 and end on November 28. The Big Ten Championship Game was scheduled to be held on December 5, 2020.

On July 9, 2020, the Big Ten Conference announced that all non-conference contests in all fall sports, including football, would be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league then moved to institute a 10-game, conference-only schedule in football, which would include multiple open weeks for teams in order to introduce flexibility into the schedule. On August 5, the Big Ten released the new reconfigured 10-game conference-only schedule.[8] On August 11, 2020, the conference decided to postpone all fall sports and evaluate option to restart competition in spring 2021.[3]

gollark: Why not Haskell?

gollark: Why not Chez Scheme?

gollark: Also, I checked, and it looks like JPEG XL is actually inevitable, due to the ability to losslessly recompress existing JPEG images more efficiently.

gollark: Actually, GTech™ GFunctionalProgramming™ just preallocates infinite memory for stack frames so there are no side effects.

gollark: Hmm, actually², my apiologists tell me you are to use JPEG XL.
