Who would have thought before the season that this Week 8 matchup between the Central Michigan Chippewas (4-3, 2-1 MAC) and the Bowling Green Falcons (2-5, 1-1 MAC) would turn out to be one of the more fascinating matchups of the conference slate?
Well, it turns out it’s just that.
CMU is coming off a relatively convincing win against New Mexico State at home last week, and finds themselves 4-3 in a season where many (myself included) didn’t see the Chips finishing with more than four wins all season. The Jim McElwain experiment is well ahead of schedule at this point, as CMU makes its first trek to Doyt Perry Stadium in 10 years looking to claim bowl eligibility.
