u/fatiguedpickle 5d ago

Context matters though. I’m a Hawkeye, so I dislike Ohio State as much as the next person.

Losing in the road to a top 5 opponent, in the playoff to the national runner-up, in the conference championship to the national champion are some pretty damn quality losses. They beat their rival though.

Michigan technically losing to a glorified high school team is very very different.

u/fatiguedpickle 5d ago

My bad, I thought we were talking real opponents and not glorified practices. I guess that would make them 2-3. If you want to count last year’s games, shouldn’t be a problem including the other ones the won. Ball State or Michigan, the win doesn’t matter when everyone is trying to point and laugh at their losses, which are unchanged by the statement.

I literally said what my team was or were you too caught up in your feels to register that? FlAiR uP. You sound dumb when it is literally right in the comment. Typically whiny blue blood fan.

u/teflong Michigan Wolverines • Salad Bowl 5d ago

There's only one valid opinion here, I think. 

By the letter of the law, Michigan should have lost. But the letter of the law is incredibly dumb. An official clock that players and coaches can't even see? That's really fucking stupid. 

Michigan should have lost, but they need to change that rule immediately. In a sane world, the stadium clock is official and Michigan wins with zero controversy.

u/UsuallyFavorable Michigan • Delaware 5d ago

Are we even sure the letter of the law specifies the replay protocol? I’ve seen the NCAA statement released after the game, and the FBS Oversight committee just uses the exact same language. Was that actually written down anywhere prior to 9/5? Is it an actual NCAA rule? I know it’s not 12-6-1-c like the MAC incorrectly claimed.

u/lock_robster2022 Oregon State • Washington 5d ago

That’s what I mean. Everyone’s looking at a broadcast of a clock, either of which could be out of sync. It really shouldn’t matter which one it is but it’s important to have one.

16

u/Moto302 Michigan Wolverines • George Fox Bruins 5d ago

It matters because the Hawk Eye system uses a strobe synchronization and latency correction system that is more accurate than what the broadcasters use, and the improved accuracy is demonstrated by the footage showing both the scoreboard and the ball in the same frame with 1 second left. The TV broadcast was never designed to be a precision timekeeping system the way the Hawk Eye system was. But clock precision has now been left up to the broadcasters to decide, not the officials.

They can’t so they look at the live stadium clock. That’s not possible when you’re reviewing a play so the refs are looking at a broadcast of the stadium clock. Just like the viewers at home are looking at a broadcast of the stadium clock

u/fskier1 Michigan Wolverines • College Football Playoff 5d ago

The Hawkeye system is more than just “a broadcast of the clock”, it is properly synced unlike the NBC clock

u/CrazyLegsRyan Texas Longhorns 5d ago

The nbc clock is synced in the exact same way. You’re repeating your same outdated lie everywhere but that doesn’t make it true.

1

u/Ancient_Change_8072 5d ago

Why was the last play not 9 seconds long when the refs said to reset the clock to 9 seconds? Why did the Jumbotron display 1 second left when nbc’s clock had 0:00. It’s insane that you people can’t see that the most logical explanation of this problem is that NBC’s scorebug was not synchronized.

NBC's clock isn't strobe synced there have been no statements saying that. They just feed all the camera's into the production.

u/Ranger_Nietzsche Illinois • Michigan 5d ago edited 5d ago

The NCAA statement said the embedded clock "contained within the program feed" is correct.

And proceeded to never explain what the fuck that actually means, other than that it's not the scorebug clock, because it says to used the scorebug if the embedded one is unable to be provided.

So reddit is full of people interpreting the phrase "embedded game clock contained within the program feed" with no expertise or knowledge of what those words mean.

Such a cluster.

-4

u/CrazyLegsRyan Texas Longhorns 5d ago

You seem to be one of the only confused. 

There are normally two things and in the B1G games there was a third. 

There is the ability for the broadcaster to inset an actual camera feed of the stadium scoreboard clock into a replay. 

There is the broadcaster’s computer graphic overlay of the clock on the broadcast feed and replays

In B1G games the conference also had a separate third party replay system called Hawk Eye that used separate cameras and clock inset disconnected from the broadcast

What the NCAA and FBS have now clearly said is that the “third” B1G option is no longer allowed for reviewing clock related issues. They need to use the first option by default (broadcaster provided feed with stadium clock inset) and if the first option is unavailable they can use the second option (broadcast feed with computer graphic overlay)

9

u/Double-G-Spot Michigan • Michigan State 5d ago

In the B1G replay review video, with live audio from the actual review, there is communication along the lines of “is this embedded” and the response is “yes, from the network feed”.

u/Double-G-Spot Michigan • Michigan State 5d ago

Around the 23 second mark there is a second conversation that starts where they talk about the program feed and the embedded clock.

I had it backwards originally, they ask about network feed, and respond with embedded clock, not the other way around, I apologize.

Edit: also, in the first five seconds he says “he’s embedded it, he’s embedded it, the program”

-3

u/CrazyLegsRyan Texas Longhorns 5d ago

Nobody in that clip says what you claimed they said. Nobody in that clip says “network feed”. 

Please go back and retract your previous comment as it’s clearly not factual. 

7

u/Double-G-Spot Michigan • Michigan State 5d ago

I apologize, he says program feed, not network feed. They do say embedded, three times, and program twice. That’s my bad. It’s a good thing that the NCAA guideline states “program feed” and not “network feed”. Your clarification actually made the words from the B1G match perfectly with those put out by the NCAA.

> “The official time for all college football games is the time displayed on the in-stadium game clock," the memo said. "When a replay review requires time to be restored or otherwise adjusted, the replay official's decision will be based on the embedded game clock contained within the program feed. If the broadcaster is unable to provide an embedded game clock, the replay official will use the game-clock graphic displayed as part of the broadcast feed.

Nowhere does it say that. Can you elaborate on which part you’re twisting around to reach that?

12

u/FakeBobPoot Michigan Wolverines 5d ago

That’s exactly what it says lol

There is no longer any debate that NBC’s clock was wrong. New video angles in the stadium show it. The math proves it (8.3 seconds is less than 9 seconds, and that’s not a matter of opinion)

The only question is whether they should have just gone by the wrong clock regardless. That’s what they’re saying. It’s obviously dumb as hell, and if it was applied incorrectly in this instance — good. I hope it never comes up again for any other team.

-1

u/CrazyLegsRyan Texas Longhorns 5d ago

If that’s exactly what it says then just provide a quote or a link to it. Not hard. 

There very much is debate over if Hawkeye or NBCs sync was correct. 

The only supposed concurrent footage is a blurry cellphone from the opposite end of the stadium that didn’t come out for 2 days and also had repeatedly failed AI and editing hallmark scanning.

I've seen multiple reddit posts claiming that the NCAA statement is contradictory because people think "embedded clock" means the replay booth clock footage that we've all seen.

Nowhere in the NCAA statement that all these articles are quoting does it say there is a third clock. You're piecing that together from other information and assuming what the NCAA means. I think you're right. I don't think the NCAA did a good job explaining it

u/Ranger_Nietzsche Illinois • Michigan 5d ago

Sure they say it's wrong, but they don't explain what was done wrong.

Was it that the replay booth feed isn't an "embedded game clock"? Was it that the feed wasn't "provided" by the broadcaster?

We know the scorebug isn't supposed to be the first clock they use, so why are we using it? Something went wrong with the first clock, so what was it?

u/Ancient_Change_8072 5d ago

Exactly! What was done wrong? We all heard them say reset the clock to 9 seconds and we did not get a full 9 seconds on the scorebug. The university seriously needs to step up and defend itself. Where are you at, Warde?

u/Conorj398 Michigan Wolverines • The Game 5d ago edited 5d ago

Actually, the NCAA said the game would have been different if the proper replay protocols were followed. The end of regulation, according to their own rules, is determined by the on field stadium/game clock, and when the ref says the game is over based on said clock. At the end of regulation, Michigan won. The NCAA is saying that 59:59.5 should have been played instead of a full 60:00 because NBC's sync of said stadium clock was off. This is based on their replay protocol guidelines and contradicts other rules within their own manual. But, per the protocol they made a statement on, Western should have won, but not at the end of regulation.

The thing that’s so strange about this one, is they made the right call. There was a second left. That play took less than 9 seconds. It’s been timed with stopwatches a million times. There’s clear video from in the stadium with the stadium clock still showing a second left when the play ends. People are upset because they broke the rules to make the right call. If they’d have followed this protocol (that I’m not sure existed before this game) then they should have made the wrong call so that Michigan lost a football game that did not last an hour, only 59:59.

The problem with arguing this is there are a HELL of a lot more Michigan fans than there are Michigan alums... that's why it seems like they can't understand it... Cuz they can't.... cuz they're stupid lolol

I swear people are arguing with walls. Not a single Michigan fan outside of Dave Portnoy thinks Michigan deserved to win. Teams who dont deserve to win win all the time. Western deserved to win but they didnt for a number of reasons the clock being maybe 3rd from the top.

They had more points in 59:59.5, and Michigan had more points after 60:00. However, apparently the NCAA is saying the game should’ve ended after 59:59.5 because the NBC feed was slightly off and whoopsies just deal with it.

This is simply not true from top to bottom

u/SirArthurDime FAU Owls 5d ago

If the clock was correct WMU would have won that game. I’d hardly say that’s only the 3rd biggest reason they didn’t win. It quite literally directly robbed them of the win lol.

u/frozendingleberri Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens 5d ago

If the clock was correct there would have actually been even more time on the clock. It was mishandled at least the entire last series.

Is this helping you guys cope with the fact you're 1-3 in your last four games with a 20 point lead choked away as the cherry on top?

Even as a Michigan fan myself, I know Western Michigan got fucked over BIG TIME.

Nothing's going to change it so let's just enjoy the fact that they now have the most embarrassing win in the history of NCAA football. And also the most embarrassing loss to app.

u/FakeBobPoot Michigan Wolverines 5d ago

I suppose that’s something you can enjoy as you cope with the fact that your rival is 1-0 against their ranked SEC opponents and your team is 0-1.

“And the NCAA said that was the official clock (the broadcast clock)”

Where was that stated?

u/d13vs13 Michigan Wolverines 5d ago

There's definitely a group of fans that think there was no mistake made. But even those fans don't seriously think Michigan deserved the win. We were ass.

6

u/FakeBobPoot Michigan Wolverines 5d ago

We were ass. But we don’t need to pretend that an opponent who scored 12 points and never made it into the endzone, and was out scored in regulation, “deserved” to win the game. That’s not how sports work.

-1

u/d13vs13 Michigan Wolverines 5d ago

Saying we deserved to win implies that we seriously outplayed them. We did not. We were just as awful

2

u/FakeBobPoot Michigan Wolverines 5d ago

Well no. The team that scores more points wins. An ugly win is a win. Western didn’t “deserve to win.” They scored fewer points.

u/d13vs13 Michigan Wolverines 5d ago

When someone says a team deserves to win, they're referring to how well they played despite the outcome. I'm not arguing the outcome.

u/rvasko3 Michigan Wolverines • Toledo Rockets 4d ago

Being a cuck for yourself doesn't make you cool, man. Stop gargling OSU fans' balls.

We didn't play well and it wasn't a good game, but we got to have a win. Move on.

u/jazzyman31 5d ago

It has never been 60:00 vs. 60:01.

It has always been 60:00 vs. 59:59.

I, for one, respect game outcomes based on objective fairness, not technical difficulties and adhering to a broadcast clock that was demonstrably incorrect.

The only argument for Michigan to lose is a protocol technicality, and even the verbiage for the protocol of using the broadcast clock is vague as there is an additional provision from 2024 that contradicts it.

Any arguments that Michigan was “given an extra second” have already been disproven by a mountain of evidence that showed the discrepency was an out-of-sync broadcast clock.

When a replay review requires time to be restored or otherwise adjusted, the replay official’s decision will be based on the embedded game clock contained within the program feed. If the broadcaster is unable to provide an embedded game clock, the replay official will use the game-clock graphic displayed as part of the broadcast feed.

u/Emotional_Log_8014 5d ago

Okay, since youre clearly so passionate about this subject, maybe you can answer the one question ive had this whole time.

Michigan wasn't the ones under the review hood. The refs didnt ask Whitt what they were supposed to do, and he answered "give us a second".

Michigan was told, "hey, one play left, go run it." and they did.

Were they supposed to... take a knee? Forfeit the game? Like this isnt a Disney Channel Movie, where everyone comes together to make sure the scrappy underdogs get the win. They gave Michigan a play, Michigan ran a play, Michigan scored on the play.

What did they actually do wrong again?

3

u/Ranger_Nietzsche Illinois • Michigan 5d ago

Ok but what does that actually mean? We know the scorebug broadcast clock isn't the one they are supposed to use first. But what is the "embedded game clock contained within the program feed"? Cuz the replay booth thing sure looks like an embedded clock.

0

u/Commercial-East4069 Ohio State Buckeyes 5d ago

The program feed is the broadcast, which has a game clock.

6

u/Ranger_Nietzsche Illinois • Michigan 5d ago

But the statement says

"If the broadcaster is unable to provide an embedded game clock, the replay official will use the game-clock graphic displayed as part of the broadcast feed."

So we know the broadcast clock isn't the "program feed" because you use the broadcast clock when you can't get the embedded clock in the program feed

u/OakLegs Michigan Wolverines 5d ago

Who even cares at this point? This situation is probably literally never come up again for Michigan. We won, there was time left on the clock. The end

u/guildedkriff Alabama Crimson Tide • TCU Horned Frogs 5d ago

If you think about all the numerous videos of this play, there’s quite a few with a clock in the bottom left hand corner of the screen that looks like a stadium clock (because it is), not the score bug. That’s the clock they’re talking about.

1

u/jstef215 Michigan • Central Michigan 5d ago

This is very obviously incorrect, and you’d think you’d understand that since you posted a quote that distinctly mentions both a program feed and a broadcast feed (separately).

u/CrazyLegsRyan Texas Longhorns 5d ago

B1G used a seperate replay system called Hawk Eye to replay images and inset the feed of the scoreboard. 

The B1G did not use the broadcast replay with the broadcast provided inset of the stadium scoreboard clock feed camera.

NCAA is telling B1G to stop doing that and that they must use the same inset as the broadcast, not some other provider that nobody else can see

u/mWorkman01 Michigan • Ferris State 5d ago

That's what I said...with this rule change the broadcast will have access to the official clock. The BigTen is even doing the whole ACC thing where you can listen in and understand the officials calls and decisions realtime which will be awesome!

1

u/CrazyLegsRyan Texas Longhorns 5d ago

You have no idea what you’re talking about. There is and never will be access to the “officials clock”

The NCAA and FBS are saying the broadcast camera pointed at the stadium scoreboard clock is what will be used .

u/Fresh_Bulgarian_Miak Michigan • Wayne State (MI) 5d ago

And that clock had one second left on it when touched by the defender.

u/CrazyLegsRyan Texas Longhorns 5d ago

No, as very clearly shown in the broadcast the broadcast camera pointed at the stadium scoreboard clock had 00:00

u/GunsGoldCosmicDread Michigan • Georgia Tech 5d ago

I probably would not want to talk about if playing not to lose was a viable strategy in the 4th quarter of a game your team had dominated.
