Editing Big Ten Conference (section)

====Bowl selection procedures====
Although the pick order usually corresponds to the conference standings, the bowls are not required to make their choices strictly according to the win–loss records; many factors influence bowl selections, especially the likely turnout of the team's fans. Picks are made after CFP selections; the bowl with the #2 pick will have the first pick of the remaining teams in the conference.

For all non-College Football Playoff partners, the bowl partner will request a Big Ten team. The Big Ten will approve or assign another team based on internal selection parameters.

When not hosting a semifinal, the Orange Bowl will select the highest-ranked team from the Big Ten, SEC or Notre Dame to face an ACC opponent. (However, in an 8-game cycle [12 years due to not counting when the Orange Bowl is a semifinal], the Big Ten must be selected at least three times and no more than four times; the SEC similarly will be selected between three and four times while Notre Dame may be selected up to two times.)<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dailypress.com/sports/columns/david-teel/dp-teel-time-acc-orange-sec-notre-dame-story.html |title=Teel Time: ACC, Orange Bowl announce ties with SEC, Big Ten, Notre Dame, ESPN |work=Daily Press |last=Teel |first=David |date=November 15, 2012 |access-date=September 15, 2021 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118180119/https://www.dailypress.com/sports/columns/david-teel/dp-teel-time-acc-orange-sec-notre-dame-story.html |archive-date=January 18, 2021 }}</ref> The Big Ten Champion cannot play in the Orange Bowl.
