Michigan hosts Oklahoma following controversial win over Western Michigan
Summary

Michigan plays No. 11 Oklahoma at noon Saturday at Michigan Stadium. The Wolverines enter the matchup after a 13-12 win over Western Michigan that remains the subject of a Mid-American Conference appeal regarding replay protocols. Officials added one second to the clock, allowing Bryce Underwood to throw a game-winning 47-yard touchdown to JJ Buchanan. The result dropped Michigan from the Associated Press Top 25, marking the first time a team ranked that high fell out of the poll after a win since at least 2008. Oklahoma arrives in Ann Arbor following a 51-0 win against UTEP. Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham stated that quarterback Bryce Underwood remains the starter, though his role is not guaranteed.
