FBS oversight committee admits mistake in Michigan-WMU game finish

The FBS oversight committee publicly acknowledged an error in the Week 1 game between Michigan and Western Michigan, admitting that proper instant replay protocols were not followed. A phantom second was added back onto the game clock, allowing Michigan to execute an additional play that ultimately decided the outcome of the match. As a result, Western Michigan filed an appeal that was later supported by the committee's statement, indicating that with the proper procedures, the result would have favored the Broncos. However, the committee confirmed it lacks the authority to overturn the game's final result, leaving Michigan as the declared winner.
