The 2023 Central Michigan Chippewas represented Central Michigan University in the 2023 CFBHC Season. The team was coached by robcarlson77 and played its home games at Kelly/Shorts Stadium in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. They were a member of the West division of the MAC.
The Chippewas season started slowly with losses to Oregon State and Michigan State. After the 0-2 start, the Chippewas reeled off four straight wins, including three wins against conference opponents, before the streak ended in a tough loss on the road to Minnesota in Week 9. The 24-19 loss would be the last one of the regular season as CMU would win their next five games, including a 31-20 win over arch rival Western Michigan. Both teams entered the contest at 7-0 in conference play. The victory over WMU snapped a four game losing streak to the Broncos and sealed CMU's first ever trip to the MAC Championship Game. The Chippewas would take on East Division Champion, Ohio in a rematch of an early season matchup. CMU would knock off the Bobcats for the second time in the season, winning the game 31-14 and clinching their first conference title.
After finishing the season 10-3 and ranked #24 in the Coaches Poll, CMU would draw a bowl matchup against San Diego State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. CMU's defense would struggle against a talented Aztec offense giving up 533 yards en route to a 35-28 defeat.
