Media taps Buffalo and Central Michigan

CLEVELAND – The Buffalo Bulls and Central Michigan Chippewas have been selected to win their respective divisions in the 2020 Mid-American Conference Football Preseason Media Poll. The poll was determined by a 24-member MAC media panel.
​The Bulls were also 
. . . ​

. . . selected to win the 2020 MAC Football Championship Title.

UB returns 15 starters to a team that went 8-5 and won its first ever bowl game in 2019 – defeating Charlotte in the Bahamas Bowl.

​Entering his junior season, Jaret Patterson is coming off a record-breaking campaign for the Bulls. He rushed for a single-season school record 1,799 yards and scored 19 rushing touchdowns, also a school record in 2019. An All-MAC First Team selection, Patterson led the Mid-American and ranked fifth in the nation in rushing last season.

The Chippewas enjoyed an incredible turnaround a year ago, increasing their win total by seven games and earning the Mid-American West title for the first time in a decade. CMU led the league in total offense and rolled up 424 points, the fourth-highest total in program history.

​Two Chippewa running backs posted 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2019, the first time ever that two CMU runners had done that in a single season, and two 2020 returnees – receivers Kalil Pimpleton and JaCorey Sullivan – earned First Team All-MAC honors.
East Division Predicted Order of Finish
1. Buffalo (19 first place votes) – 135 pts.
2. Miami (3) – 107 pts.
3. Ohio (1) – 101 pts.
4. Kent State (1) – 85 pts.
5. Bowling Green – 50 pts.
6. Akron – 26 pts.
West Division Predicted Order of Finish
1. Central Michigan (10 first place votes) – 119 pts.
2. Toledo (7) – 118 pts.
3. Ball State (4) – 93 pts.
4. Western Michigan (3) – 89 pts.
5. Eastern Michigan – 46 pts.
6. Northern Illinois – 39 pts.
