​Michigan football’s game against Western Michigan is in the record books as a Wolverines win. But if the Mid-American Conference has its way, that will change.The MAC released a statement on Tuesday, Sept. 8, that it is formally appealing the result.Michigan, of course, won the game on a Hail Mary after the game was seemingly over but replay officials declared one second remained on the clock.That ruling has been heavily disputed across the college football landscape, and now Western Michigan’s conference is asking for the result to be overturned.You can read the entire statement below:After further study and investigation, it is now evident that replay protocol was not properly followed in determining whether time remained on the game clock at the conclusion of the Western Michigan vs. Michigan football game. The established replay protocol requires that the game clock displayed on the program feed be used in determining whether time remained. Instead, the Big Ten Conference replay crew relied upon the clock feed embedded within its replay system. As a result, one second was placed back on the game clock and an additional play was awarded. This was not a judgment regarding the proper amount of time to place on the clock. It was an error in the application of the established replay protocol governing this specific end-of-game timing situation. Had the protocol been properly followed and the program-feed clock been used, no additional play would have been awarded, and Western Michigan would have won the game, 12–7. As a result, the Mid-American Conference has submitted formal appeals to the NCAA FBS Oversight Committee and the College Football Playoff. The MAC is requesting that those bodies recognize Western Michigan as the actual winner of the game for purposes of their respective rankings, evaluations and selection deliberations, and take such other corrective action as may be within their authority.This article originally appeared on Detroit Free Press: MAC appealing Michigan-Western Michigan result after ‘further study’
