[2] In 2005, Iowa spoiled the last home game for Wisconsin head coach Barry Alvarez, defeating the Badgers at a rain-soaked Camp Randall Stadium 20–10.

Wisconsin evened the Heartland Trophy series in 2007, winning another closely contested game 17–13, under the lights at Camp Randall.

The 2010 game was decided in the final minute, as the Badgers scored a late touchdown for a 31–30 victory at Kinnick Stadium.

Due to Big Ten expansion, Wisconsin and Iowa were placed in separate divisions, ostensibly ending the annual rivalry after the 2010 season.

With the addition of Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington to the conference in 2024, divisions were removed, ending the rivalry as a part of the Big Ten West.
