The Wisconsin Badgers recently had their rivalry with Minnesota named one of the nation’s best, but now that is further justified by CBS Sports.
Tom Fornelli was tasked with ranking the Big Ten’s top ten rivalries, a task that is no easy feat.
To no surprise, Michigan vs. Ohio State topped the list. For at least the foreseeable future, that’s the clear-cut No. 1 rivalry in one of the nation’s most stacked conferences.
Right behind the Wolverines vs. Buckeyes is Minnesota vs. Wisconsin, a rivalry that has been gaining a lot of traction these past few days.
Shockingly, that’s not the only Badgers rivalry Fornelli listed in his top ten. Going down a bit on the list, Iowa vs. Wisconsin clocks in at No. 7.
Going into the 2026 season, Big Ten fans know they will get to witness both the No. 2 and No. 7 rivalries in the conference.
Wisconsin heads to Iowa on Halloween, October 31, and finishes the year at Camp Randall against Minnesota on November 28.
Fornelli’s complete top ten list can be found below:
- No. 1: Michigan vs. Ohio State
- No. 2: Minnesota vs. Wisconsin
- No. 3: Iowa vs. Minnesota
- No. 4: UCLA vs. USC
- No. 5: Michigan vs. Michigan State
- No. 6: Oregon vs. Washington
- No. 7: Iowa vs. Wisconsin
- No. 8: Indiana vs. Purdue
- No. 9: Iowa vs. Nebraska
- No. 10: Illinois vs. Purdue
