Wisconsin. Minnesota. The battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe.

It happens every year. And for 14 straight years, Wisconsin won that battle. That was up until last season. Last year, Minnesota took the Axe back to Minneapolis after defeating the Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium 37-15.

This year will be different. Minnesota has a lot to play for this time around. Last year, the Gophers were able to fly under the radar and didn’t have potential College Football Playoff lives at stake.

This year, they do.

As for Wisconsin, the Badgers probably can’t make the CFP if their win out, but they can ruin Minnesota’s season, win the Big Ten West, take the Axe back to Madison and make an appearance in yet another Big Ten Championship all in one fell swoop.

The game is scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday at Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium. Ahead of the game, Wisconsin dropped its hype video for the clash.

It’s must-see:

We’re ready.
