Wisconsin Badgers vs Minnesota Golden Gophers

The Battle for the Paul Bunyan Axe is now the most oft-played rivalry in all of college football. And fittingly, the record for those 124 showdowns is very close 59 wins for the Golden Gophers, 57 wins for the Badgers and eight ties. And although Wisconsin has owned the rivalry for the past two decades, losing just twice since 1994, plenty of the games have been tight. Take the 2005 edition, for example. The 5-1 Gophers, hosting the 5-1 Badgers, grabbed a commanding 34-24 lead late in the fourth quarter. Then, a John Stocco touchdown and a blocked punt returned for a score gave the Badgers 14 points in the final two minutes for a thrilling 38-34 victory.
