(By The Associated Press undefined) – The Big Ten West race has already been decided, so No. 25 Wisconsin’s game at No. 19 Iowa is about positioning for the best possible bowl slot. Iowa is going for its sixth win in a row and is on its longest streak since going 12-0 in the regular season in 2015. The teams play for the Heartland Trophy, and Wisconsin is looking to retain it for a fifth straight year.
