Coming off of a series split with Ohio State last weekend, the Wisconsin Badgers lost their No. 1 ranking to the Minnesota Golden Gophers. As luck would have it, the Gophers were traveling to Madison this very weekend so there was a chance to settle who is actually the best team in the country on the ice!
After 120 minutes of hockey it seems pretty clear to this random blogger that the Badgers (6-2-0 overall, 6-2-0-1 WCHA) are the No. 1 team, no questions asked. UW opened the weekend with an emphatic 5-0 shellacking of the Gophers (8-3-0 overall, 8-3-0-0 WCHA) and followed that up with a 6-3 win on Saturday.
