MINNEAPOLIS — There are a number of ways to go 12-0 during a college football season.

The best way is to slowly build from game to game and be playing your best football at the end of the regular season, sending you into postseason play with a ton of confidence and momentum.

In finishing off the first 12-0 regular season in school history with a 31-0 victory over fading Minnesota Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium, fifth-ranked University of Wisconsin played its most complete game of the year. The rout of coach P.J. Fleck's first Minnesota team capped off an impressive three-game, late-season run against the best competition on the Badgers' schedule.
