per Asmussen:
2. Wisconsin vs. Minnesota
The winner gets an Axe for goodness sakes. It helps that the Gophers appear to be rebuilding with P.J. Fleck in charge. The teams have played 128 times and naturally the series is tied 60-60-8. The Axe replaced the Slab of Bacon.
4. Iowa vs. Minnesota
The Gophers ruled the early years of the series, but it has been closer since Floyd of Rosedale was introduced as the prize. Originally a live pig, Floyd of Rosedale is now a trophy with a bronze pig on the top. Awesome.
10. Michigan vs. Minnesota
Note how many times Michigan makes the list. This is the third, tying with Ohio State and, oddly, Minnesota for the most. The series started in 1892 and the teams have been playing for the Little Brown Jug since 1903. Because they are in different divisions, the game isn’t played annually. That’s a shame.
