The 2016 Western Michigan Broncos football team represents Western Michigan University (WMU) in the 2016 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They are led by fourth-year head coach P. J. Fleck and play their home games at Waldo Stadium as a member of the West Division of the Mid-American Conference (MAC). The Broncos completed their regular season undefeated and won the MAC West Division title. The Broncos finished conference play defeating the Ohio Bobcats 29–23 in the 2016 MAC Championship Game, winning the school's first MAC championship title since 1988.

WMU received its first national top 25 ranking after they beat rival Central Michigan and was No. 25 in the Coaches Poll. Following its first win over Northern Illinois since 2008, the Broncos were ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time in school history at No. 24 in week seven.[1]

Previous season

In 2015, the Broncos finished the season 8–5 overall and 6–2 in MAC play to finish in a three-way tie for first in the West Division. Due to tiebreakers, they did not qualify for the conference championship game. They were invited to the Bahamas Bowl where they defeated Middle Tennessee.

Season

Home invasion arrests

During the week leading up to the opening game, two freshmen, Ron George and Bryson White, were arraigned on charges of "armed robbery, first-degree home invasion and larceny from a building." The police allege that they used a gun and a knife to rob a woman.[3]

White was already facing criminal charges in Ohio related to driving under the influence of marijuana and driving on a suspended license. A passenger in his car was charged with carrying a gun and White refused to cooperate when asked about it.[4]

The players were dismissed from the team.
