Central Michigan Chippewas are set to face Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium. Under head coach Matt Drinkall, who posted a 7-6 record in 2025, the team is analyzed through a preseason evaluation system. CMU's recruiting classes and overall ranking in Bill Connelly's SP+ are low, with challenges to overcome in the Mid-American Conference.
