MAC Appeals Controversial Clock Call | Dayton News

The MAC is officially appealing the controversial clock ruling from the Sept. 5 Western Michigan vs. Michigan game, where a late review gave Michigan a last-second touchdown to flip the score — despite TV replays showing zero time left. Western Michigan, who celebrated what would’ve been their first win over a ranked team since 2015, now hopes the NCAA FBS Oversight Committee will recognize them as the true victor for ranking purposes. Even Michigan’s win came at a cost — they dropped out of the AP Top 25 — and Western Michigan’s president is thanking the MAC for the appeal, which has garnered strong support. The case underscores the stakes of clock protocol and the push for fairness in college football. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
