It’s never too early to start thinking about what the 2023 college football season might have in store for us.
Who will reign supreme in the Big Ten? Will it be the Michigan Wolverines putting the finishing touches on a conference three-peat? Or, will the Ohio State Buckeyes grab their 12th conference crown since the turn of the century?
How about the Iowa Hawkeyes? Can Kirk Ferentz and Cade McNamara combine for the program’s first league crown since 2004? If so, it would represent the 12th all-time Big Ten championship in program history and the third in the Kirk Ferentz era.
As always, there’s plenty of excitement on each team’s 2023 Big Ten football schedule. Of course, there’s a great list of rivalry games. There’s The Game, the battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy, the fight for Paul Bunyan’s Axe, the jockeying for the Land of Lincoln Trophy and the Old Oaken Bucket to contest.
That doesn’t even mention any of Iowa’s great rivalries. It’s always stress inducing to figure out if the Hawks can keep the Heartland Trophy, Floyd of Rosedale and the Heroes Trophy in Iowa City.
Looking for every Big Ten team’s 2023 football schedule? You’re in the right place. Without further ado, let’s look at every Big Ten team’s 2023 football schedule and key dates.
