Central Michigan concluded the 2017 season full speed, winning five-straight games to earn its best record since 2009. The successful finish landed the Chippewas into the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl against Wyoming of the Mountain West Conference.
The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl transpires on December 22 in Boise, ID on Boise State's iconic blue turf. It will be a much greater travel in terms of distance for the Chippewas, opposed to the Cowboys who reside just one state over.
Central Michigan (8-4) will play in its fourth-straight bowl game and its third under head coach John Bonamego.
