ball went out of bounds with 1 second still showing, imo.

Home house advantage. Always an uphhill against past champions and Goliaths.

that’s not what I saw. I saw 00. When did football start using basketball clocks?

The MAC has filed an official complaint asking the NCAA to overturn Michigan's controversial win over Western Michigan 13-12.

According to the MAC’s letter to the NCAA, the established protocol for what was supposed to happen in a replay review was not followed.

“Rather than relying upon the designated game clock displayed on the program feed, the Big Ten replay crew relied upon a separate clock embedded within its replay system. The two clock feeds were not synchronized,” the letter states.

“The game clock displayed on the program feed showed that the clock had expired. The clock embedded within the replay system, however, showed time remaining. Despite the protocol expressly requiring replay officials to rely solely upon the game clock displayed on the program feed, the replay crew utilized the unsynchronized replay-system clock and restored time to the game clock.”

That extra second allowed for one more play to be called. Underwood’s second heaved prayer resulted in a touchdown, handing Michigan an unlikely win.

NCAA clarification, if I'm reading right, seems to make a case for WMU (use the broadcast's feed of the official stadium clock for replay purposes if it's accurate, or if not use the broadcast's graphic showing the clock, but either way it points the replay booth to use what the viewers at home see).

I mean I doubt the game will be overturned and I'm not sure it's a good thing for the sport if it can be, but at least all this probably helps WMU's playoff bid if they finish with 1 loss

Has college football become "Unfair"?
Yes.
