As the 2023 college football season is on the horizon, Big Game Boomer ranked his top 50 rivalry game names across the Division 1 landscape. “The Axe Game” between Wisconsin and Minnesota came in at 21st overall.
The Badgers and Gophers always meet for the final game of the regular season and Minnesota won 23-16 in the 2022 matchup in Madison. In 2023, the two teams will meet Nov. 25 at Minnesota.
All-time, the two teams are tied with a 62-62-8 record, but Wisconsin leads the series 45-27-3 since the creation of Paul Bunyan’s Axe (the series’ trophy) in 1948.
Luke Fickell and his squad will look to continue the winning standard Wisconsin has developed over their rival.
