Where Does This Leave The Chippewas?

Central Michigan will instead play Washington State in the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas

Washington State was originally set to play Miami in the Sun Bowl. However, the Hurricanes withdrew due to COVID issues, leaving open the spot that was fulfilled by CMU.

Sports Illustrated notes,

"Central Michigan has not won a bowl game since 2012 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, and has never beaten a Power 5 opponent in a bowl game. Washington State has two bowl wins in the last 18 years, most recently winning the 2018 Alamo Bowl against Iowa State."

The College Football Playoff semifinals will be held on Dec. 31 at the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas, and the Orange Bowl in Miami Gardens, Florida. The national championship game will wrap up the bowl season extravaganza on Jan. 10 in Indianapolis.
