The 2023 college football season is heating up as Week 14 comes to a close with one of the most anticipated matchups of the year. No. 2 Michigan is set to face off against No. 17 Iowa in the Big Ten Football Championship Game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on FOX and the FOX Sports app.
Michigan comes into the championship game undefeated for a second straight regular season and is eyeing its third consecutive conference title, which would also secure their spot in the College Football Playoff for the third year in a row. With No. 1 Georgia suffering a loss earlier in the day, Michigan is poised to claim the top spot in the final CFP poll. The Wolverines will also welcome head coach Jim Harbaugh back to the sidelines after his three-game suspension.
Iowa, on the other hand, is seeking redemption from their last Big Ten title meeting with Michigan in 2021, which ended in a lopsided 42-3 victory for the Wolverines. Despite offensive struggles throughout the season, the Hawkeyes managed to secure a 10-2 regular-season record, relying heavily on their solid defense to carry them to the championship game.
The game is sure to be an intense contest between these two powerhouse teams, and fans can expect all-out action from start to finish. With high stakes on the line, both teams will be leaving it all on the field in their quest for the championship. Stay tuned for more updates as the game unfolds.
