Why else wouldn’t CMU be number one in a list like this? The Chippewas are the archenemy of Western Michigan sports, and it isn’t even close. In football, CMU first played WMU in 1907, and the Broncos lead the Battle for the Cannon, with a record of 48-37-2, with the most recent result being a 49-10 drubbing of the Chips in Mount Pleasant, which propelled the team into the Associated Press Top 25. Be it football, basketball, or any other sport, CMU will always be the archrival for WMU.
2. University of Toledo
After Central Michigan, the next closest team WMU could be considered to be rivals with is Toledo.
