The 2023 Big Ten conference football season was the 128th season of college football played for the Big Ten Conference and part of the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. This was the Big Ten's tenth season with 14 teams, and its thirteenth and final season with a divisional scheduling format. Next season the league will expand to 18 with the additions of UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington.
The 2023 season saw the Michigan Wolverines win the College Football Playoff and the national championship.
This is the first year of the Big Ten's new media deal and thus its first year of no games airing on ABC Sports properties and first year of games airing on NBC Sports and CBS Sports properties.
Previous season
Michigan won the East Division championship, with the Wolverines making their second consecutive appearance in the Big Ten Championship Game. In the West Division, Purdue won the division title and made their first championship game appearance. In that championship game, Michigan defeated Purdue 43–22 to win the Big Ten championship. With that win, the Wolverines landed a spot in the 2022–23 College Football Playoff as the No. 2 seed. The Wolverines lost in the semifinal game of the playoffs to third-seeded TCU 51–45 in the Fiesta Bowl. Along with Michigan, the Big Ten placed a second team into the College Football Playoff as Ohio State earned the #4 seed, but fell to the top-seed and eventual national champion Georgia in the Peach Bowl, 42–41.
Besides Michigan and Ohio State, seven other Big Ten football teams qualified for bowl games: Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Penn State, Purdue, and Wisconsin. The Big Ten overall went 5–4 in postseason games in the 2022 season.
Coaching changes
There are four head coaching changes in the Big Ten for the 2023 season. Nebraska hired Matt Rhule to replace Scott Frost. Rhule most recently coached in the NFL with the Carolina Panthers.
Purdue hired Illinois defensive coordinator Ryan Walters to replace Jeff Brohm, who left for the head coaching job at his alma mater of Louisville.
Wisconsin released Paul Chryst and replaced him with Luke Fickell, who had been serving as the head coach at Cincinnati.
On July 10, 2023, Northwestern announced they were parting ways with head coach Pat Fitzgerald after allegations surrounding hazing within the Wildcat football program.[1] On July 14, 2023, Northwestern named defensive coordinator David Braun the interim coach for the 2023 season.[2]
On September 10, 2023, Michigan State coach Mel Tucker was suspended as part of an investigation into a sexual harassment claim. Secondary coach Harlon Barnett will serve as interim coach while the case is being sorted out.[3] Tucker was officially fired on September 27.
On November 26, 2023, following the conclusion of the regular season, Indiana fired Tom Allen after the Hoosiers had completed a third consecutive losing season.[4]

Postseason
Bowl games

The Big Ten teams will go to a New Year's Six bowl if a team finishes higher than the champions of Power Five conferences in the final College Football Playoff rankings.
