When the No. 10 University of Wisconsin football team faces off against No. 19 Northwestern on Saturday, it won’t just be one of the best Big Ten Conference games of the day, but one of the best college football has to offer.
Not to mention, it’s also one of the Big Ten’s most implicative games of the season. It’s a battle for the top spot in the Big Ten’s Western division.
Wisconsin and Northwestern’s series has been tightly contested over their past six battles dating back to 2014, when the Big Ten’s division structure changed to welcome Rutgers and Maryland.
