Big Ten silence follows controversial Michigan replay ruling
Summary

One week after Michigan secured a 13-12 victory over Western Michigan, the Big Ten has provided no explanation for a replay decision that altered the game's final moments. Officials added one second to the clock following a review, enabling a 47-yard touchdown reception by JJ Buchanan that decided the outcome. While the NCAA has since mandated that future time reviews must rely solely on the embedded program feed, the conference remains silent on the original ruling. The Associated Press responded to the result by removing Michigan from the top 25 rankings. Elsewhere in college football, Ole Miss topped Louisville 41-38, LSU defeated Clemson 51-10, and SMU beat Florida State 27-24.
