Also, SMU fans have ZERO room to talk about Sonny yelling at refs. Lashlee was doing that the entire game.

And wasn't it Mac Brown that demanded the extra time? Others think he wasn't a nemesis to TCU, but he was of the cloth cut by Darrell Royal and his successors who were still angry over the 1959 and 1961 TCU wins that kept UT from being voted national champion....

Was I supposed to type something here?
He stamped his little feet and all, but the bottom line was the BIGXII was not going to have their undefeated Longhorns miss going to the National Championship because some silly clock ran to zero. Didn't matter a whit that Nebraska had won that game, they were going to make sure they had a share of the money and prestige involved in the BCS National Championship. Nebraska being allowed to win negated all of that, so...

I can’t seem to post the photo but here is the statement:
Official Statement Regarding Western Michigan -
Michigan Football Game
From MAC Commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher
URL: https://bit.ly/4cxOiYH
After further study and investigation, it is now evident that replay protocol was not properly followed in determining whether time remained on the game clock at the conclusion of the Western Michigan vs. Michigan football game.
The established replay protocol requires that the game clock displayed on the program feed be used in determining whether time remained. Instead, the Big Ten Conference replay crew relied upon the clock feed embedded within its replay system. As a result, one second was placed back on the game clock and an additional play was awarded.
This was not a judgment regarding the proper amount of time to place on the clock. It was an error in the application of the established replay protocol governing this specific end-of-game timing situation. Had the protocol been properly followed and the program-feed clock been used, no additional play would have been awarded, and Western Michigan would have won the game, 12-7.
As a result, the Mid-American Conference has submitted formal appeals to the NCAA FBS Oversight Committee and the College Football Playoff. The MAC is requesting that those bodies recognize Western Michigan as the actual winner of the game for purposes of their respective rankings, evaluations and selection deliberations, and take such other corrective action as may be within their authority.

It's interesting because I saw something that raised an additional question for me, and I didn't want to beat a dead horse.
But since it's back in the news, I watched the Big Ten explanation again and wondered what the heck clock they were using. It had some images (the number 9, I think, and some other number that may have referenced other game stats) to the right of the clock. Whatever it was, it wasn't from the big stadium scoreboard. It seemed odd that the clock they were using was NOT a video feed of one of the so called synchronized field clocks.
I'm not particularly a conspiracy theorist but the Big Ten obviously benefits from having its teams better positioned to make the playoffs and a home loss to a MAC team would hurt their resume.
Regardless of anything else, it's wild that the Big Ten replay crew uses some other clock.

That's just it, they are not supposed to use another clock if there is a discrepency. They are to use the clock that the tv crew uses in the stadium. Because they can't trust that the offsite or other time would be synced.
I learned that yesterday on SXM ESPN College Sports Radio. Or whatever they call it now. The ESPN types were praising how well Western is taking it. Now that they are standing up to the scam, I'm sure ESPN will attack them in pathetic fashion.
