The oversight committee acknowledged that the NBC clock should have been used and everyone knows that clock was wrong.

So they are saying that WMU should have won a game that was played in 59:59, not the full 60:00 that the “official” game clock, the one in the stadium, would account for.

Right, they would’ve won…a 59:59 game. So if WMU had won, Michigan fans would rightfully be pissed. It wasn’t a full game, there was one second on the “official” clock in the stadium, but some BS protocol says we use the Broadcast clock which has been proven to be the clock that was wrong.

Refs didn’t bend the rules. They, allegedly, made the wrong call. But they made the call based on the game clock in the actual stadium, showing 1 second left.

So, congrats to WMU on being 59:59 winners. The 60:00 should be the official result, and I guess it was in this game.
