Central Michigan football bowl projections after Week 10
Football head coach John Bonamego talks to the media on Nov. 3 in the Indoor Athletic Center.
Coming into Wednesday’s game against Eastern Michigan, the Central Michigan football team needs one win to become bowl eligible.
In order to qualify for a bowl game, a team has to earn six wins. CMU is 5-4 on the season and 3-2 in the Mid-American Conference.
Head coach John Bonamego has earned two bowl game bids in two seasons for the Chippewas. In 2015, CMU fell to Minnesota in the Quick Lane Bowl, 21-14. Last season, he took the team to the Miami Beach Bowl, which the Chippewas lost to Tulsa, 55-10.
