Shades of the 2009 Big 12 title game, when Colt McCoy threw a ball out of bounds and Mac Brown asked for a second to be put back on. When he was awarded the second they proceeded to kick a game winning field goal to win the Big 12 against Nebraska.

And then lost to Bama in the title after Colt went down early. Ball don't lie.

The only way this makes any sense is if the scoreboard/tv clock got slightly unsynched when the refs added a second back on the clock before the start of the play. IIRC, the ref announced a reset of the stadium clock from :08 to :09.

So, while CFB clocks don't display tenths of a second like in basketball, they obviously still exist. So, if the official clock (which apparently is hidden) was actually at 9.3 seconds (showing :09), and the stadium clock is changed from :08 to :09 (which would be 9.00 seconds left) that could explain why the Scoreboard/TV clock showed :00 at the same time the "official" replay clock still showed :01, which changed to :00 fractions of a second after they claim the WMU touched the ball. @johnnytsunami01 pointed out flaw with this argument

Still, I think the officials needed to have also synched up another camera angle that showed the WMU player actually touching the ball with their "official" clock still showing :01 to overturn the call on the field. You can't tell from the angle the Big10 posted when the WMU player touches the ball.

Unbelievable. Someone tell me if I shouldn’t think W Mich was cheated…??

They have just become my top hated team above ND, UiF, and Ohio State. I want them to lose every game, especially with their history of cheating.

The Big 10 statement wants to try and point out that the defender touched the ball while out of bounce. But as the video clearly shows and we all saw, time ran out before the defender touched the ball.

The game would’ve been over if the roles were reversed, 100%

Jobs should be lost. The entire B10 replay system should be burned to the ground and rebuilt. That was criminal.

NFL replay is so good. They have all the right angles, pilon cams, etc.

How the college replay system and command booth be so far off is incredible to me. That ACC command center proves it all the time. They are already telling the official what the call should be.
 
Does anyone else wonder whether we'll get a fair shake in the B1G against their favorite members or whether we'll be the redheaded step child?.

I was thinking same but I find it odd the Big10 doesn't address this point.
 
GUARANTEE Tommy Carr is the starter by game 8. This is going to be a rough year for the champions of the west.
