From now on according to NCAA and officials it will be the stadium clock that is used per the article below.

Unfortunately, they are not giving WMU the win

FBS oversight committee says it can't overturn WMU's loss

The NCAA's FBS oversight committee acknowledged that replay protocols were not properly followed at the end of Western Michigan's controversial loss to Michigan in Week 1 but said it does not have the authority to overturn the result of the game.

Kind of like after someone was executed you find out they weren't guilty. Sorry.

Pure comedy.

The result should be reversed when it is this clear and this timely.

Actually, my understanding is that due to a clock issue in the MSU/Mich game from several years ago, stadium clock operators are conference assigned individuals and not affiliated with the school.

My guess is that once it comes time to start ranking Mich as it relates to CFP rankings, they will get penalized for their non-win against WMU.

Unless West Mich goes 11 - 1.

But they have the authority to take wins away from Iowa for its egregious recruiting violation involving the great and powerful Cade McNamara. And they've taken wins away from other programs retroactively. Why not this time? It's all bullshitt.

"Not affiliated with the school." Hmmmm. But I wonder if they're affiliated with any of the legal sports betting operations?

if you sift through everything released by the big ten, it was always the stadium clock that was being used...the narrative in the press is that the tv "clock" should be the final word...if you are really unbiased, look at two things..after the buchanan catch near midfield, the clock continued to run when it should have stopped to move the chains, ran off at least 2 seconds..run the first hail mary and time the play with a stopwatch, it always comes out to less than 9 seconds..regardless, unlike the "spartan bob" play, Michigan had to score from midfield as opposed to a goal line opportunity..wmu just had to defend a play that usually fails around 95% of the time...

Imagine an 11-1 WMU getting in over a 10-2 Michigan for the last spot. Would be glorious.

That wouldn't happen l, because WMU "lost" to Michigan.

It's a bunch of BS, because everyone except the replay official agreed that the STADIUM clock is what should be used.

Now they come out with an "official" statement to say.... Yep let's used the stadium clock. Which means Michigan really lost....but it's IMPOSSIBLE to go back and change the outcome, so FU WMU

You can't make this stuff up.

"Because of the injustice done to you, we're changing the rules ...

... but we still aren't changing the result of your game to the right one."

On Sept. 26 I just want Iowa to play better than WMU did. The day we beat the clowns by three Michigan beat Oklahoma.
