MAC wants Western Michigan recognized as winner vs. Michigan
The Mid-American Conference has appealed the outcome of Saturday night's game between Western Michigan and Michigan, asking the NCAA and College Football Playoff to recognize the Broncos as the winner of the controversial contest.In a letter sent Tuesday, MAC commissioner Jon A. Steinbrecher said "replay protocol was not properly followed" at the conclusion of the game.
Michigan won 13-12 on Bryce Underwood's Hail Mary touchdown pass after the replay official put one second back on the clock. The stadium clock and the one shown on television showed zeros after Underwood's first Hail Mary was thrown out the back of the end zone.
"I recognize that the Oversight Committee does not ordinarily alter results recorded on the field," Steinbrecher wrote in the letter to the NCAA. "Nevertheless, the circumstances of this game are extraordinary. The final outcome was directly affected by a replay officiating error resulting from the failure to follow an established and specific protocol governing precisely this type of end-of-half timing situation."

Regardless if WMU wins their appeal or not, the fact that they lost to scUM by 1 on a freaking hail mary is the loudest point made in this entire convo. On top of that WMU won the turnover battle(scUM had 3 to WMU 0), outgained them on the ground(which was supposed to be the strongest part of scUM's offense), had less penalties than scUM, more first downs, and held scUM to 123yds if you take away the last second 47yd hail mary. To put it plainly, scUM was dominated by a MAC team, at home AND still paid them $1.5mil.
And now they have 7 days to get ready to beat a #11 Oklahoma team

I'm thinking a lot of those are going to be bought and shipped to various zip codes in and around Columbus.
