Wolverines and Wildcats Clash at Wrigley Field in Big Ten Showdown

On Saturday, November 13, 2025, No. 18 Michigan and Northwestern will meet in a Big Ten rivalry game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Wolverines, who moved up in the College Football Rankings from a debut at No. 21, are looking to stay in playoff contention after their third consecutive victory two weeks ago. Meanwhile, the Wildcats are hoping to end a two-game losing streak following their defeat at USC last Friday.

Despite the recent cold weather in Chicago, with temperatures falling below freezing and winds howling at 25-30 mph during the Bears' game just six days earlier, Wrigley Field is expected to see unseasonably warm 60-degree weather for this "home" game on Northwestern's schedule. Both teams will be eager to take advantage of the favorable conditions and secure a crucial conference win.
