Where does Michigan-Wisconsin fit in the rivalry hierarchy of the new Big Ten?

The long history of the Big Ten Rivalry Series (presented by Venmo), which began last week, has given us some unforgettable moments.
Remember Oregon’s thrilling double-overtime victory at Penn State? Of course you do. It happened six days ago. Attention spans have gotten shorter, but not that short.
After that instant classic, you might be wondering what else the Big Ten’s new rivalry series has in store. Well, good news. There are 16 more rivalry games to look forward to, including the battle for the Land Grant Trophy (Penn State at Michigan State), Floyd of Rosedale (Minnesota at Iowa), the Heroes Trophy (Iowa at Nebraska) and the Old Oaken Bucket (Indiana at Purdue).
Absent from the list: Saturday’s game between Michigan and Wisconsin.
