22. Minnesota-Wisconsin (Wisconsin, 61-60-8)

The winner of the Gophers vs. Badgers showdown takes home the prized Paul Bunyan Axe. It's the most played rivalry in FBS football, dating back to 1890. The 2019 meeting was more significant as it determined the winner of the Big Ten West Division. Wisconsin came up big, beating Minnesota 38-17 in Minneapolis.


Go Gophers!!
 

I think it’s incredible that the Floyd series is an exact dead heat after all these years, and the Axe is only an inspired Saturday effort from being the same.
 


61-60-8. In 30 years they've closed an almost 30 game deficit in the series. Depressing. 100 years of domination wiped out. 🤮🤮🤮

Still, gotta be way higher than it is on this list. Still top-ten for sure.
