The Central Michigan Chippewas come into our power rankings dead last for the season. One reason is that the MAC is especially loaded this season. Another is that they have a lot of new faces. The good news for the Chippewas faithful is that I didn’t expect all that much from them last season, and they managed 21 wins.
Second leading scorer Shawn Roundtree and his 14.8 points and 4.2 assists return. So do the third and fourth leading scorers, David DiLeo and Kevin McKay. There is a solid foundation for the Chippewas to build on, and there are also quite a few transfers coming in.
