Not on the last weekend. The Iowa and UNL games (both UW wins) were much earlier. UW finished 7-2 (UI and UNL were 6-3) and Minnie was 5-4 with no shot on the last weekend.
Was 2014.  Wisconsin was 6-1, Minnesota was 5-2.  If the Gophers won it would have been a two way tie at 6-2, with Minnesota getting the tiebreaker.

Wasn't that the case a couple years ago?  I thought 2016 was for a division title.
Yep, the OSU victory vs Michigan put Penn State in the charge of their own destiny.  Beat MSU and they were going to the CCG.

I see Wisconsin is on Iowa's schedule as the last game starting in 2020. Not sure if that is something that can or will change. Nebraska is scheduled against Minnesota that weekend. It would probably be easy to switch the schedule if that was deemed best by the conference, or the teams, as Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota are each traditional rivals and at least games between any of the three as the season finale would make sense. It is the interloper that puts a wrench in the equation.
I don't think Nebraska-Wisconsin would be as natural a rivalry as Nebraska-Minnesota, or Nebraska-Iowa might develop into. Nebraska has no tradition of having schedule Wisconsin historically.
There has never really been a "set" time for UW and Minnie to play, since the late 1970's or so. Before then it was the last game for a while but there is also a "history" of games in October (when I think it should be). In the 1980's it was MSU more than any other team if I remember right.

It wasn't until very recently that Minnie became the "locked" last game. Recent last games have been Iowa, Penn State, Northwestern and Minnie (not including CCG's, of course).

So, for UW, it's really been all over the place.

So... let's just say it's rare. It would be nice for it to happen more often.

So Wisconsin should lose more often, and stop clinching the B1G West by the end of October?

Agreed, they just need to lock in the schedule permanently for that final weekend.

Was MSU-PSU a "rivalry"?  Meh.  But it had been the season finale for 25 years now, so I had bought in.  Maryland-Rutgers may get there too.  But nothing is going to get there this way.
PSU was UW's end game in 2012 and 2013, for some reason.

it appears the Bill Moos is trying to chance it.
He understands that the Husker fans want to create another traditional rivalry game on the Friday after Thanksgiving
not a revolving schedule
I'm not sure he can get it done, but he's at least reporting to the fan base that he's trying.

My idea for the B1G-W for Thanksgiving weekend:
Friday (day after Thanksgiving):
  • Iowa vs Iowa State (rotating home and home)
  • Nebraska vs Oklahoma (rotating home and home)
  • Northwestern vs Illinois (in Chicago)
Saturday:
  • Wisconsin vs Minnesota (rotating home and home)
  • Purdue vs Indiana (rotating home and home although if they decided to play it in Indianapolis that would be fun too)

That way all four B1G-W western teams get a rivalry game on the last weekend and we spread the games out over Friday and Saturday.

Just my opinion, but the final game of the regular season shouldn't be an OOC matchup.

I actually like those because we know what we are getting.  There are several between the SEC and ACC that I can think of:
  • Clemson/USCe
  • UF/FSU
  • UGA/GaTech
What I like about it is that, as I said, we know what we are getting.  What I mean is that we know how good those teams are relative to their conferences.  When Iowa/Iowa St play in early September we really don't know what we are seeing.  Suppose Iowa barely wins, 21-20.  Two (of many) possibilities:
  • That is a great reflection on the B1G because Iowa is one of the worst teams in the B1G-W while Iowa State is one of the top teams in the B12, or
  • That is a terrible reflection on the B1G because Iowa is the B1G-W Champion while Iowa State is one of the worst teams in the B12.  
With the CyHawk game in early September, we don't know.  When Clemson/USCe, UF/FSU, or UGA/GaTech play in late November we know exactly what we are getting.  I like that better.  I'd love to have Nebraska and Iowa play late season OOC rivalry games.

I wholeheartedly agree
BUT,  if that's the ONLY way to get the Sooners on the Husker's schedule every season, I will make that sacrifice

I disagree. 

Particularly when it is a traditional Thanksgiving/End of Season Rivalry that has been split up by Conference realignment.

No like.

How about Michigan vs. Notre Dame on Friday and Ohio State vs. West Virginia on Saturday?

See?

Nah.

Just let it be Iowa/UNL on Friday and leave the rest alone.

Just need Minnie to get consistently good and all will be fine.
