- The MAC has appealed and asked the NCAA/CFP to recognize Western Michigan as the winner after a replay official put one second back on the clock, allowing Michigan to win on a last-second Hail Mary (13-12).
- The conference says replay protocol was misapplied: officials relied on an embedded replay-system clock instead of the program-feed clock fans saw, and if the correct clock had been used WMU would have won 12-7.
- Western Michigan initially accepted the explanation but reversed course; the dispute is now seeking official recognition and could affect rankings/CFP consideration (Michigan dropped out of the AP Top 25).
