Thirty-six Big Ten names, not including Maryland, Nebraska or Rutgers players who were in school before entering the conference, are on AFC and NFC Championship Game rosters.

All 14 Big Ten programs have at least one representative, with Ohio State's nine leading the way, not only among the conference but all of college football.

A pair of "GOAT" quarterbacks, New England's Tom Brady (Michigan) and New Orleans' Drew Brees (Purdue), highlight the former Big Ten names. Brady, fresh off his 28th all-time playoff win, is making his eight consecutive AFC Championship Game appearance.
