The Michigan Wolverines and Iowa Hawkeyes face each other on Saturday night for a Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis with FOX on the broadcast for an 8:17 p.m. ET kickoff.

Michigan’s path to Indianapolis included a 12-0 regular season headlined by head coach Jim Harbaugh missing half the regular season due to suspension. The Wolverines found ways to rally and get through the year unscathed thanks to wins over Penn State, Maryland and Ohio State without Harbaugh on the sidelines. He is out of the penalty box this weekend and for the stretch run as U-M works to win it third-straight conference title and readies for a trip to the College Football Playoff.

The Hawkeyes have had their own share of ups and downs this season, but have somehow found their way to Indy after surviving another chaotic season in the Big Ten West. Iowa enters 10-2 – and honestly, should be 11-1 – after a season that included losses to Penn State and a controversial loss to Minnesota on Oct. 21. They have somehow figured it out despite a ton of critical injuries, including to former Wolverines in quarterback Cade McNamara and tight end Erick All. Iowa is also without cornerback Cooper DeJean, their best player who suffered a season-ending injury.

Here is the broadcast information for Saturday night’s Michigan game.

The Big Ten title game prediction

The nation’s 130th-ranked offense (out of 130 teams) hasn’t shown an ability to play any semblance of respectable offense this year. They lack the elite offensive line, backs and tight ends that a typically great Iowa team would have. But this is an Iowa team that will test your discipline on both sides of the ball, which makes them an ideal opponent coming off of an emotional win over Ohio State. Expect a charged-up Michigan team on Saturday night with Jim Harbaugh back on the sideline and their championship goals still ahead of them. The Wolverines grab their second shutout of the season. Michigan 38, Iowa 0
