The Central Michigan Chippewas (5-5, 3-3 MAC) head southeast to take on the Ohio Bobcats (7-3, 3-2 MAC) with things to work for on both sides.
CMU is coming off a tough road loss to bitter rival Western Michigan where the Broncos, fueled by two turnovers, rallied in the fourth quarter for the 38-28 win. The tough loss puts Central Michigan’s bowl game aspirations in jeopardy, as CMU needs to win versus either Ohio or MAC West champs Toledo in the next two games to reach bowl eligibility.
Ohio is still in the MAC East division race for at least one more week, but rival Miami RedHawks can clinch the crown with a win over Buffalo.
