MAC seeks reversal of WMU–Michigan result, urging Broncos named winners
The Mid-American Conference filed a formal appeal to the NCAA FBS Oversight Committee and College Football Playoff, asking that Western Michigan be recognized as the winner of the Western Michigan vs. Michigan game due to alleged replay-protocol violations: officials reportedly used the replay system clock rather than the program clock, which could have altered the end-of-game timing. WMU contends that if proper procedure had been followed, the game would have ended 12–7 in WMU's favor; Michigan ultimately won 13–12 on a last-second Hail Mary. Overturning a completed game is unlikely, though the MAC seeks action and clarification; the Big Ten has stood by its replay decision.
