MAC Appeals Michigan-WMU Game Result

The Mid-American Conference appealed the outcome of the Michigan-Western Michigan game, asking NCAA officials to declare Western Michigan the winner after a controversial last-second Hail Mary.

The MAC filed an appeal Tuesday regarding the Michigan-Western Michigan football game, claiming that replay protocol was not properly followed when an extra second was added to the clock for Michigan's game-winning Hail Mary. Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher stated that the established replay protocol requires using the game clock displayed on the program feed, not the clock within the replay system, which resulted in an incorrect outcome.

If proper protocol had been followed, Western Michigan would have won 12-7 instead of 12-13. The MAC is requesting the NCAA and College Football Playoff administrators to recognize Western Michigan as the actual winner for their records. chickenroadslot.pro
