Seriously, I can't get over this. You know if the roles were reversed the game would have been over. You know that if this was Iowa or any other but a handful of programs nationally, the game would have been over. At minimum the refs who did this should never be allowed to officiate again, at any sanctioned level.

Wait wtf. How did they get a 2nd Hail Mary? I watched the first one then shut my phone off.
I’ve long suspected this **** is rigged. No further evidence needed to confirm it. Especially when dealing with Michigan.
Big ten will explain it to them like this … “Do you like broadcasting Big Ten games? Shut up and get behind the story “.
The WMU coach is clearly a better man than me.
I would have went total apepoop if I was the coach and all that unfolded.

Someone is going to have to justify the additional 1 second thing. It is unexplainable at this point.
Yep. Absolute SCREW job.
Western Michigan coach seems like a guy that will want to move on, but he should be fighting this. Video evidence is right there.
Big double ZEROS and the ball is in the air. GAME OVER
Announcers even said the clock was exactly in sync.
Or at least the replay officials, since it seems they were the one(s) to make that ruling.
Not that it’s any excuse, but it’s hard to go out and defend another play when your mindset was that the game was over.
Why were they playing defense when the game was over though? Can't stand the Michigan cheating
Somebody made a call, I don't know. Usually the conference only does this for Ohio State
That was also the shortest replay review I’ve ever seen for something that consequential. Like crazy short.
If I was Whittingham I would have declined to be interviewed. Would be sick to my stomach
1972 Olympics can rest easy. A bigger screw job has jumped to the head of the line.
Gotta feel bad for the WMU coach. Has to feel utterly crushed for his team.
Had a ranked team beat in their own house and the refs steal it from you.
Just sickening.

There was only one Hail Mary and it was defended fine.
Has any game result ever been overturned in the history of the big ten, or any ncaa football game, due to error?
Most rigged BS I've seen in a long time. Broncs got screwed.
Any bets Michigan jumps a few spots in the polls as well after that?
(especially if all the talk about coaches not really paying attention and having someone else fill out their ballots for them is true)

Bigger issue will be how many spots the media bumps them up (and they will).
To think I'd just been imagining where we'd be slotted above Michigan, right before the conference rigged this result for them.
This one should be. It's literally OVER at that point. Change the final score. Done.
No way there's some magic replay video the refs have that have 1 second left. That replay took all of 20 seconds too.
Pretty sure they were going to throw a late roughing the passer if Michigan failed on their free play anyway
Wtf are you talking about? The fumbled snap had no impact on the game whatsoever
Nah man this isn’t one of those outcomes where you can say well if this just happened instead. WMU won that game, they did exactly what they needed to. They got ******.
The 2006 Outback Bowl begs to differ, like, three different times...
Sorry, I disagree. They get a first down and the game is over. They were running outside with the other rb coming to block. You get 1 yard and it's 4th and 1. You go and get it, you win.
michigan players and coaches are going to be looked with contempt on the streets all season
ABC crew just laughing it up, pretending like it was NBD. The sports media machine won’t criticize the big brands and them, Vegas and the ncaa will protect them at all costs. It’s not a fair playing field.
ESPN has already shared it like 30 times on social media. They’re loving the clicks
Would be really nice if the NCAA would do the right thing and make me feel that there is still hope for the human race.
