We love intersectional games here. It gets really boring seeing the same ole’ Sunbelt, ACC, and CUSA teams. And, when going out of Tuscaloosa’s driving range, we’d prefer not to host distant creampuffs like Kent State. So, to previously-scheduled Fresno State and Colorado State, we now add MAC semi-power Central Michigan to the schedule in 2023. The Chippewas are year-in and year-out one of the more physical teams in the cradle of coaches, and they have a goodly amount of talent at the skills positions. Of course, anything can change over the next 4-5 years, but for now this is a decent matchup; the Chips are more than game if a P5 power team takes them lightly.
