All of that is at stake this Saturday for the No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers as they take on their biggest rival, and that list doesn’t begin to touch on the game’s College Football Playoff implications. A victory this Saturday and another in the Big Ten championship game would give Wisconsin at least a shot at being selected to the field, in turn giving the Badgers a chance to play for their first national championship since 1912.
The hungry 8-3 Minnesota Golden Gophers are making the trip to Madison for the annual matchup, a game that they haven’t won since 2003.
