Source: ESPN public APIs: game summaries (box scores) for every final FBS game, standings, team season stats and player season stats (cross-checks). Team and player figures are sums of ESPN box scores of final games. National rank = among the 138 FBS teams with a final game; B1G rank = among the 18 Big Ten teams. Ranks are computed by B1G+A from those ESPN values (T- = tied). Anything that failed a cross-check against ESPN season totals is left out.
