In order to qualify for a bowl game, a team needs six wins. CMU is 6-4 on the season and 4-2 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 his team to the Miami Beach Bowl, which the Chippewas lost to Tulsa, 55-10.
