This is probably not the matchup Michigan was hoping for in Big Ten Champions Week \u2014 nor is it an even match at the moment.<\/p>\n

The Big Ten announced matchups for Week 9 to go along with the championship game between Ohio State and Northwestern in Indianapolis, and the Wolverines are set to face off against a red hot Iowa team that just took down Wisconsin in Week 8. The Hawkeyes are 6-2 on the season and\u00a0ranked No. 17 in the Amway Coaches Poll.<\/p>\n

The maize and blue, should it be beyond their COVID-19 issues, will travel to Kinnick Stadium to take on Iowa at night on Saturday, Dec. 19. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.<\/p>\n

Michigan is 2-4 after the regular season and gets arguably the toughest crossover matchup, with Iowa having won six straight after having lost its first two games by a combined five points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is probably not the matchup Michigan was hoping for in Big Ten Champions Week \u2014 nor is…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3231,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nMichigan football's Week 9 matchup set - Lansing Report<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/?p=3230\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Michigan football's Week 9 matchup set - Lansing Report\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This is probably not the matchup Michigan was hoping for in Big Ten Champions Week \u2014 nor is…\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/?p=3230\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Lansing Report\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-12-06T17:15:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-12-14T17:16:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/EpD-TVJXIAMsCJx-scaled-1.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"500\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Theona Miller\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\">\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Lansing Report\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/?s={search_term_string}\",\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/?p=3230#primaryimage\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/EpD-TVJXIAMsCJx-scaled-1.jpeg\",\"width\":1000,\"height\":500},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/?p=3230#webpage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/?p=3230\",\"name\":\"Michigan football's Week 9 matchup set - Lansing Report\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/?p=3230#primaryimage\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-12-06T17:15:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-12-14T17:16:25+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/#\/schema\/person\/6888a5f573aaec6c17a232d2cf444ab4\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/?p=3230\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/#\/schema\/person\/6888a5f573aaec6c17a232d2cf444ab4\",\"name\":\"Theona Miller\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3230"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3230"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3230\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3232,"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3230\/revisions\/3232"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peoriamag.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
