Michigan at home versus Iowa on CBS should be a strong test for both sides right at the start of conference play.
Big Ten expands live replay reviews to 2026 conference games
x/national-collegiate-athletic-association
— Sep 9, 2026
The Big Ten is expanding in-broadcast replay reviews to include all conference games and most non-conference games in 2026, featuring live audio between the game referee and replay official, video of the review, and access to the Big Ten Replay Center. The plan, spurred by scrutiny after last week’s Western Michigan–Michigan finish, also notes that a Michigan–Oklahoma game will not be included due to the broadcasting crew arrangement for that pairing.

— Aug 22, 2026
UCLA’s football under first-year coach Bob Chesney is expected to struggle in the brutal Big Ten, with a realistic ceiling around mid-pack and a likely 6-6 regular season with a bowl win, rather than contending for the conference title. Meanwhile, the 2026 UCLA basketball roster overhaul could yield strong performances in a competitive Big Ten, with a potential top-four finish if the new players gel quickly, though much depends on how quickly the lineup comes together.
