Said they blew the call but at this point can't change the result
NCAA Oversight Committee rules refs screwed Western Michigan in the Michigan game
- Thread starter mdk02
- Start date
Duuuuuuuh! They also cheated to get a natty.
You gotta wonder how this would have all played out had the teams been switched and WM got the TD with the extra play to win.
What a shame for those kids, I hope they win out.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out for Michigan if they win out or only lose 1 mroe game

They can vacate wins for everything else, why not this?
WMU got screwed!
WMU got screwed!
Watching their first 2 games, their D looks very good but their offense is bad. I don't see a world where they don't lose a couple more games.
I suspect (or at least hope) the voters continue ranking them as if WMU was a loss. They dropped out of the top 25 that week. They got back in after beating #11 OU, but only at #19, which is not what you'd expect of a 2-0 UM team that just beat #11. If they do somehow manage to run the table, I don't think you could keep them out of a playoff, but if they don't, the WMU loss will factor into tiebreakers.
So the original sync on the tv was in sync? And the replay used to overturn the timer was out of sync? Let that sink in.
Well pardon my ignorance and naivety. I realize a superior intellect like yours didn't need to be informed of the committee's decision, but us lesser human beings sometimes need a little help.
As somebody suggested, bowl committee should qualify WMU for a bowl with 5 wins
But given they are independent of the NCAA, they can weight the game as they see fit.
What’s interesting is that many retired referees and rules committee officials weighed in on this situation. All say it’s a travesty. Not one came out and supported the decision. Many bringing up that stadium clock is for all intents and purposes the official clock. Of it wasn’t and there is another clock somewhere else. Why does the ref always ask the timekeeper to update the clock. It’s one clock. Always has been.
Yeah but it is often reset after penalty and review decisions that reflect stoppage in play.
What it says is the call was correct but if they had followed proper protocols the game was over. So, technically Michigan should have lost even though there was one second left.

Why can't they reverse the results? It's really as simple as if that last play occurred or not.
Go back to the no replay days. If you can’t fix the thing that is in place to avoid these situations, why bother at all?
There was no penalty. And was discussed by rules officials real time. They didn’t understand why the play was reviewed in the first place. There was no grounds that should have or would have allowed for a review.
Yes sir. I'm just providing some input as to why the clock could b adjusted. Hence "often".
You will get no argument from me on that joke of a call.
I’ll ever understand that statement when the call happened literally on the last play of the game. If the right call ended the game then there’s no argument that the next play could’ve changed the outcome. Especially when they already altered the outcome once. It’s a simple change of 2 numbers. Add 1 win to WMU and take one away from UM.
