This year’s battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy now turns into a much more interesting affair thanks to a momentous victory for Michigan State against Wisconsin in Week Seven.

Both Michigan and Michigan State started the season with high expectations, but have gone off on different trajectories. The Wolverines (7-0, 4-0 in Big Ten play) have ripped through the early part of the 2022 season and still have their eyes set on back-to-back College Football Playoff appearances.
