Iowa coach Fran McCaffery previews the upcoming Big Ten tournament

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery addressed the upcoming Big Ten tournament, Kris Murray's incident at Illinois, Big Ten honors + more on Tuesday afternoon.

The Hawkeyes' first opponent in the 2022 Big Ten Tournament is official.

No. 5-seed Iowa will face 12-seed Northwestern on Thursday. The game is scheduled to tipoff close to 1 p.m. CT. That time may change, as the Hawkeyes are slated to play 25 minutes after Indiana vs. Michigan. That game is scheduled scheduled for 10:30 a.m. CT.

Hawkeye fans can watch the action on the Big Ten Network and can stream on the FOX Sports app using a cable provider login.

There's plenty at stake for Iowa (22-9, 12-8 in the Big Ten) in the conference tournament. While an NCAA Tournament berth certain, the Hawkeyes can improve their potential seeding with a deep run in Indianapolis. ESPN and USA Today Sports have Iowa as a 6-seed in their latest bracketology. CBS Sports has Iowa as a 7-seed. A loss on Thursday would not bode well for the Hawkeyes' hopes at a 6-seed in March Madness.

Iowa and Northwestern met once earlier this season, with the Hawkeyes winning 82-61 on Feb. 28.

Iowa football's 2022 schedule features both Ohio State, Michigan

The Iowa Hawkeyes football team opens the 2022 season against South Dakota State in Iowa City. Iowa plays Ohio State for the first time since 2017.

The college football season is a around a month away.

With an offseason that's seen NIL-fueled player movement and conference realignment plans, there's plenty of hype surrounding the 2022 season.

And there's plenty of optimism in Iowa City.

Iowa football finished last season 10-4, earning a trip to the 2021 Big Ten Championship and an appearance in the Citrus Bowl. The Hawkeyes return many starters on both sides of the ball, too.

Here's a look at Iowa football's schedule, opponents, TV information and more ahead of the 2022 season:

When: 11 a.m. CT on Saturday, Sept. 3

Where: Iowa City

How to watch/listen: FS1, Hawkeye Radio Network, TuneIn app

Last meeting: First meeting between the teams

Iowa opens its season with an FCS powerhouse. The Jackrabbits made the FCS playoffs 10 seasons in a row, most notably appearing in the national championship game in 2020. Keep an eye on running back Isaiah Davis and quarterback Mark Gronowski. Davis ran for 701 yards and seven touchdowns (7.4 yards per carry) last season in just seven games. Gronowski redshirted last year due to injury but was the Missouri Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Year as a freshman in 2020.

Iowa vs. Iowa State

Where: Iowa City

How to watch/listen: Big Ten Network, Hawkeye Radio Network, TuneIn app

Last meeting: Iowa won 27-17 in 2021. Hawkeyes hold a 46-22 series advantage.

Can the Hawkeyes win seven in a row against the Cyclones? Or is this the year Matt Campbell gets his first Cy-Hawk win? Iowa State will trot out Hunter Dekkers as the presumed starting quarterback as Brock Purdy's replacement. The Cyclones return Will McDonald IV, the program's all-time sack leader, too.

Iowa vs. Nevada

When: 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, Sept. 17

Where: Iowa City

How to watch/listen: Big Ten Network, Hawkeye Radio Network, TuneIn app

Last meeting: First meeting between the teams

Ken Wilson's fourth game as Nevada's head coach will be in Iowa City. With star quarterback Carson Strong's graduation, the question of who the Wolf Pack will utilize at quarterback remains up in the air. Do-it-all tailback Toa Taua returns, and he accumulated more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage last season.

Where: Iowa City

How to watch/listen: TBA

Last meeting: Michigan won 42-3 in the 2021 Big Ten Championship

The last time these two teams faced each other, it wasn't close. And it's a game the Hawkeyes and their fans would love to forget. Here's one note of optimism: Iowa has won its last four games against Michigan inside Kinnick Stadium, including a 14-13 win in 2016.

Iowa at Illinois

When: TBA on Saturday, Oct. 8

Where: Champaign, Illinois

How to watch/listen: TBA

Last meeting: Iowa won 33-23 in 2021

The Hawkeyes have won 13 of the last 14 meetings between these two teams, and it hasn't been that close. Iowa's scored 33 points or more in four of the last five meetings, including a 63-0 shutout in 2018. If there's a bright spot with head coach Bret Bielema's team, it's defense; the Illini held opponents to just 21.9 points per game last season, which ranked sixth in the Big Ten last year, just behind Iowa.

Where: Columbus, Ohio

How to watch/listen: TBA

Last meeting: Iowa won 55-24 in 2017

It's been a minute since these teams clashed, but the last meeting was one Hawkeye fans definitely remember. Aside from that, though, Iowa's struggled against Ohio State. The Buckeyes won 13 of the last 15 meetings dating back to 1992 and boast a 46-15-3 all-time series advantage. Ohio State is lead by CJ Stroud, a preseason Heisman Trophy hopeful who threw for 4,435 yards and 44 touchdowns as a redshirt freshman in 2021.

Where: Iowa City

How to watch/listen: TBA

Last meeting: Iowa won 17-12 in 2021

Iowa's Homecoming game comes against an opponent that the Hawkeyes have struggled against as of late. Northwestern has won four of the last six meetings between these two schools. Running back Evan Hull (1,273 yards from scrimmage, nine total touchdowns) is back after earning honorable mention All-Big Ten honors last season, but plenty of questions remain with the offense overall.

Iowa at Purdue

When: TBA on Saturday, Nov. 5

Where: West Lafayette, Indiana

How to watch/listen: TBA

Last meeting: Purdue won 24-7 in 2021

Jeff Brohm's Purdue offense seems to always give Iowa's defense fits. And now, two former Hawkeye wide receivers are set to help the Boilermakers' offense in 2022; Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Charlie Jones both transferred to Purdue this offseason. Purdue has won four of the last five games, including two in West Lafayette.

Iowa vs. Wisconsin 

When: TBA on Saturday, Nov. 12

Where: Iowa City

How to watch/listen: TBA

Last meeting: Wisconsin won 27-7 in 2021

The last time Wisconsin came to Kinnick Stadium, Iowa took care of business. But that hasn't always been the case in recent history. Since 2010, the Badgers won eight of their 10 meetings with the Hawkeyes. Braelon Allen will be the man to watch this season in the Badger backfield. Last year as a freshman, he totaled 1,268 yards and 12 scores.

The battle for the Floyd of Rosedale will take place in Minnesota this year. So far, Floyd has spent the last seven seasons in Iowa City. Iowa's won four of the last five in Minneapolis, including a 35-7 win in 2020 that resulted in Kirk Ferentz's infamous quote: "Figured we’d take Floyd with us and leave the timeouts here."

Iowa vs. Nebraska

When: 3 p.m. CT on Friday, November 25

Where: Iowa City

How to watch/listen: Big Ten Network, Hawkeye Radio Network, TuneIn app

Last meeting: Iowa won 28-21 in 2021

Iowa's regular-season finale comes with a chance to win its eighth straight game against Nebraska, which is led by fifth-year coach Scott Frost. The last four contests have been close, with the Hawkeyes winning each contest by an average of 4.75 points — but that's an area Nebraska struggled in as of late. Since 2018, the Huskers have lost 18 games by seven points or fewer and won just five. Iowa overcame a 21-6 deficit last season, scoring 22 unanswered points en route to a victory inside Memorial Stadium. Quarterback Casey Thompson transferred from Texas to Nebraska this offseason, giving Frost some proven talent behind center.
