Wisconsin Badgers have two of their biggest rivalry games ranked in the top 10 Big Ten football rivalries, according to a list released on Friday by CBS Sports. These games are Wisconsin vs. Minnesota (No. 2) and Wisconsin vs. Iowa (No. 7). The legendary rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan topped the list, making it one of the greatest rivalries in sports.
Iowa vs. Minnesota came in at No. 3, with other notable rivalries like UCLA vs. USC, Michigan vs. Michigan State, and Oregon vs. Washington also making the list. Wisconsin holds a narrow lead in their all-time matchups against Iowa and Minnesota, showcasing the competitiveness of these rivalries. These matchups represent what a great college football rivalry should embody, including close geographical proximity, rich history, evenly-matched teams, and an iconic rivalry trophy.
In addition to those two rivalries, Wisconsin’s dominance over Nebraska was also recognized, with the matchup making the list at No. 18. The Badgers’ streak of victories against the Cornhuskers highlights the one-sided nature of that particular rivalry.
