MAC requests NCAA review of Michigan victory over Western Michigan

The MAC has formally requested that the NCAA FBS committee overturn the result of the recent Michigan and Western Michigan football game. Michigan secured a win after an officiating review placed one second back on the clock, allowing Bryce Underwood to throw a game-winning pass to JJ Buchanan. The conference previously acknowledged the legitimacy of the outcome following the final whistle but later sought a reversal to recognize Western Michigan as the winner for rankings and evaluation purposes. Dave Portnoy publicly criticized the MAC for the protest, characterizing the conference's decision as an attempt to gain attention after initially accepting the game result. No official word has been provided by the NCAA regarding whether the appeal will be considered or granted.
