RULING STANDS

Because visual evidence does not irrefutably contradict the ruling on the field, the original call is maintained per Big Ten Command Center protocol.

Evidence Standard Met: INCONCLUSIVE (Requires indisputable visual proof to alter)
Clock Enforcement & Status: 0:07 remains; 10-second runoff triggered due to in-bounds clock restart without offensive timeouts -> GAME ENDS.
Win Probability Impact:
Michigan Win Prob: 98.4% WMU Win Prob: 1.6% Leverage Index: 4.8 (High)
Big Ten Review Hierarchy Checklist
  • 1. Presumption: On-field ruling is presumed correct until demonstrated otherwise by indisputable video evidence.
  • 2. Clock Runoff: When replay reverses an incomplete pass or out-of-bounds ruling to an in-bounds tackle under 1:00 in 4th quarter, 10-sec runoff applies unless charged a team timeout.
  • 3. Forward Progress: Stoppage by official whistle cannot be overturned unless clear backward yardage/fumble occurred prior to progress termination.
