CMU football clinches No. 25 in Associated Press Top 25
The CMU football team placed No. 25 in the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in school history with 64 votes.
Central clinched the spot after winning 11 of the last 12 games, including 20-10 Friday over Ohio to earn its third Mid-American Conference Championship in four seasons.
The Chippewas (63 votes) also finished one spot out of the USA Today Coaches' Top 25, behind No. 25 Houston (106), which lost to East Carolina 38-32 in the Conference USA Championship game on Saturday.
The team came close to both Top 25 polls earlier this season. It finished one spot out of the coaches' poll and No. 27 in the AP poll earlier this season before losing 31-10 to Boston College on Oct. 31.
