Wisconsin relinquishes possession of the Paul Bunyan Ax in a 23-13 loss to Minnesota.
With the defeat, the Badgers still end the season at eight and four but lose out on getting to compete in the Big Ten title battle. As a result, next Saturday, it will be Iowa, not Wisconsin taking on Michigan in a game to be played in Indianapolis for the Big Ten title after the Wolverines defeated Ohio State yesterday, 42-27.
