MAC Appeals Michigan-WMU Game Result

The Mid-American Conference has formally appealed the controversial Michigan-Western Michigan football game outcome, requesting NCAA and College Football Playoff administrators to recognize Western Michigan as the actual winner. Michigan won 13-12 on a Hail Mary pass after the replay official incorrectly added one second back to the clock. saltysenoritaaz.com

MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher stated that the established replay protocol was not properly followed. The Big Ten replay crew relied on an internal clock rather than the program-feed clock that was visible to viewers. Had the correct protocol been followed, Western Michigan would have won 12-7, according to Steinbrecher.
