The 2022 Big Ten Championship teams have been officially set.

The Michigan Wolverines and Purdue Boilermakers will meet in Indianapolis on Saturday, Dec 3. Michigan clinched its spot in the game after throttling Ohio State at home. Purdue clinched after beating Indiana with Iowa losing to Nebraska on Black Friday.

The Illinois Fighting Illini were the favorites to represent the West just a few weeks ago, but the Boilermakers beat the Illini in a head-to-head matchup.

The Boilermakers are not a College Football Playoff contender, but a victory could cause the Wolverines to get a lower ranking in the CFP. A win by Purdue would also send the Boilermakers to the Rose Bowl.

These teams have not met since the 2017 season when Michigan won 28-10. The Boilermakers are seeking to defeat the Wolverines for the 1st time since the 2009 season.
