The University of Toledo football team will now take on the role of spoiler Friday when it travels to Central Michigan for its regular-season finale.
With Western Michigan losing 17-14 at Northern Illinois on Tuesday night, Central Michigan (7-4, 5-2 MAC) steps into the driver's seat of the Mid-American Conference West Division. With a win over Toledo (6-5, 3-4) on Friday, the Chippewas will represent the MAC West in the conference title game against MAC East champion Miami.
Prior to the Western Michigan game on Tuesday, first-year Central Michigan coach Jim McElwain said his team wasn't going to focus too much on the outcome of the Broncos game.
