The outcome of Michigan's controversial Week 1 win over Western Michigan  "would have been different" if officiating protocols had been properly followed, the NCAA's football oversight committee said in a Wednesday statement.
However, the committee asserted that it "does not have the authority to overturn the contest."

Any "protocols" that ignore the accurate measurement of time are extremely suspect, imo. Fewer than 9 seconds passed from when the ball was snapped to when the ball touched the W. Michigan player (trust your stopwatch).

Somehow my opinion is in the minority. One of many things in life I'll never understand.

*Shrug*

Are you saying stopwatch measurements of different video feeds are accurate?  If the process should have allowed the verdict to stand instead of being overturned, a fair justice system demands that the verdict stand, otherwise the entire system fails because it is built on a slippery slope.  I hate it but even though the knee was down and the lateral was forward, at the time, the process was that the ruling on the field stands.  So officially unjust outcomes in college football stand.  The outraged victims get the change the score to the proper/true outcome when they (we) get the trophy.
