Heading into the 2026 college football season, the Big Ten eyes a historic fourth straight National Championship.

The trio of Indiana, Ohio State, and Michigan dominated from 2023-2025, so it remains to be seen which of those three, if any, can help keep the Big Ten as one of the most respected and dominant conferences in the entire country.

With 18 teams in the conference, it's time to take a look back at the last year, if applicable, that each of them won the National Championship.
