The Iowa Hawkeyes will be the Big Ten West’s final representative in the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 2.
The Hawkeyes clinched the division with a 15-13 win over Illinois on Saturday, moving to 6-2 in Big Ten play and 9-2 overall. After its regular season finale against Nebraska next week, Iowa will face either Ohio State or Michigan, pending the result of The Game, in the Big Ten Championship on Dec. 2.
Although it was a contentious final season in the Big Ten West, the Hawkeyes claimed the division title for the second time in the last three seasons and did so with a week to spare.
