Minnesota Football: RoWINg to Wisconsin - Opponent Preview

Well, here we are: Hate Week. College GameDay is headed to Minneapolis. The No. 8-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers and the No. 12-ranked Wisconsin Badgers will be playing for both Paul Bunyan’s Axe and a trip to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship. The game is sold out. It doesn’t get much bigger than this.

Let’s get to it.

Are they any good this year?

2019 Record: 9-2 (6-2, 2nd B1G West)
S&P+ Ranking: 12th

Yes, but it has been a tale of two distinct halves for Wisconsin.
