Sitting at 10-2 with a Big Ten West title, the Iowa Hawkeyes have had an incredibly successful 2023 college football season. Luckily, they are not done and have two more chances to add to their accomplishments.
First up, a date with the Michigan Wolverines in Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship on Saturday, Dec. 2. After that, the Hawkeyes are going bowling and their most likely matchup is coming into clear focus.
The Iowa Hawkeyes are being forecasted to the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl in Orlando on Jan. 1. The pool of opponents is shrinking, but could change if the bowl committees go away from the traditional thought process.
For some context, the Citrus Bowl has tie-ins to the Big Ten and the SEC. That is the set matchup each year. It is the Big Ten’s third bowl in their pecking order, the first being the College Football Playoff followed by a New Year’s Six game, most likely the Orange Bowl.
