Big Ten football standings predictions for the 2023 season

Big Ten Championship – Michigan over Wisconsin 42-35

I have Michigan winning the Big Ten East and Wisconsin winning the Big Ten West. These two teams are projected to go undefeated in the regular season.

This would be the third straight season Michigan has made it to the title game. They have won the last two Big Ten Championship games against Iowa (42-3) and Purdue (43-22).

Wisconsin would get back to the Big Ten Championship game for the first time since 2019. If they make it in 2023, that would give the Badgers seven Big Ten Championship appearances in the 13 years there has been a title game.

With so much on the line, a trip to the College Football Playoff, I think this would be a great game. Michigan has a high-powered offense that can attack you in multiple ways. Their defense is also one of the top units in the country.

Wisconsin is going to shock some people this season by actually moving the ball through the air. I think there is a chance the Wolverines get punched in the mouth early, but they recover quickly with so much talent on the offensive side of the ball.

I see this game being fairly high-scoring. With too much talent to handle, Michigan wins their third Big Ten Championship game in a row, 42-35. I have JJ McCarthy winning the MVP in what could end up being the icing on the Heisman Trophy cake.
