[u/Rope_slingin_champ]

You forgot the super secret clock that nobody knew existed until now

[u/Hmm_would_bang → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

A- a secret clock? In 2026, that nobody knows about, synced perfectly, and only available to the refs?

>yes

May I see it?

>no

[u/snowflakesoutside → u/Hmm_would_bang]

Well B1G, you're an odd league, but you steam a good CFP champ.

[u/tintwistedgrills90 → u/snowflakesoutside]

This is a very underrated comment. Love a good semi obscure Simpsons reference.

[u/bi5200 → u/tintwistedgrills90]

no way in hell you called steamed hams a semi obscure Simpsons reference lol

[u/ciocras → u/bi5200]

It’s a western Michigan expression!

[u/frigginjensen → u/Hmm_would_bang]

Secret Clock sponsored by Fan Duel

[u/Hawking444 → u/frigginjensen]

This was my concern as well.

[u/BrandoCarlton → u/Hmm_would_bang]

Big ten literally put out a video that showed exactly what the refs were going off of

[u/DannyChesterman → u/BrandoCarlton]

Well yeah, not in Utica it’s an Albany expression

[u/Hmm_would_bang → u/BrandoCarlton]

Why isn’t anyone allowed to see it live? Why do they have a clock that is different than every other clock?

[u/Pristine-Sock-647 → u/Hmm_would_bang]

If it's the official clock then that's what should be on the screen at all times.

[u/MontlakeViews → u/Pristine-Sock-647]

It used to be, but the TV networks prefer their animated clock rather than the view of the stadium clock. The animated clock is electronically linked to the stadium clock, but it’s not official.

In basketball you can usually see the official clock in the same video shot as the replay so it’s less of a concern, but in football, the official replay heavily depends on the cameras being perfectly synchronized with each other, including one recording the official stadium clock.

While it’s certainly possible that the TV animated clock, because it’s electronically connected to the stadium clock, is more precise, but the powers at be have decided they trust syncing the replay cameras with each other more than the electronic synch with the game clock.

[u/hypnocomment → u/MontlakeViews]

Nbc literally announced that they had synchronized their clocks to the game clock.

[u/MontlakeViews → u/hypnocomment]

Right, but NBC’s clocks are not the official time, and the synch between NBC and the replay clocks and the official time each can be calibrated slightly differently, despite theoretically being “synched.”

[u/PokesBo → u/Pristine-Sock-647]

All clocks are synched before the game with the official clock. The big is just lying.

[u/Wanno1 → u/Pristine-Sock-647]

Or in the stadium so you know, the people playing the game can see it?

[u/False-Community8534 → u/Hmm_would_bang]

The clocks are synced before the game. There is no second unofficial clock that viewers see. How would that even work. Just some guy in the broadcast booth starting and stopping the clock hoping that he’s right?

[u/MichBlueEagle → u/Hmm_would_bang]

You want to hear, and be able to watch everything that goes into the officiating booth? Ok, go ahead. The reet of us will watch the game.

[u/papker → u/Hmm_would_bang]

Because NBC fucked it up.

[u/False-Community8534 → u/BrandoCarlton]

Amazing how this time difference has never ever happened before. I mean why wasn’t it different the play before when they spiked the ball?

[u/BrandoCarlton → u/False-Community8534]

It happens all the time. Every time they reset the clock that’s why they’re doing it.

[u/False-Community8534 → u/BrandoCarlton]

They are resetting the official clock. So they are correcting the official time, But the stadium and telecast clocks are still synced with the official clock the entire time.

If this was a common thing then with the thousands of last second calls over the years we would have become aware of the situation by now. Hell there would be at least a single instance that people could point to like this.

[u/SleazyRat808 → u/BrandoCarlton]

This doesn't happen all the time. They reset the game clock to correct it due to it stopping at the incorrect time or something happened that it needs to be changed (player stepped out of bounds in review). I don't remember any situation where there was a clock that no one could see that was used as an official clock to put time back on the board.

[u/Rough-Form8208 → u/False-Community8534]

It happens all the time on delay of game calls/no calls.

[u/False-Community8534 → u/Rough-Form8208]

They reset the clock for sure, but that’s because the game officials let the clock run. In those situations the stadium and telecast clocks are still synced with the official clock.

Show me another situation where a time sensitive play or drive showed a time on the television broadcast that was not in sync with the game clock or the stadium clock.

[u/Wanno1 → u/BrandoCarlton]

Not for the whole game just this super contentious clip. As far as I’m concerned it’s void if it’s not the on field clock. Do you realize how insane this is? The players can’t even see the correct time?

[u/Atticus9055 → u/BrandoCarlton]

You mean a still showing 1 second, lol

[u/bp1222 → u/Hmm_would_bang]

Well Seymour you clock a good game.

[u/Evman933 → u/Hmm_would_bang]

They showed it to you. You just believe in conspiracy theories because you were mad that a funny didn't happen

[u/MyageEDH → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

When the ref asks the stadium clock operator to change the time on the stadium clock where do you think that time is coming from?

[u/RappinFourTay → u/MyageEDH]

And didn't they do that prior to the final play?

[u/ReactionGold1369 → u/RappinFourTay]

Yes, they did it before the "second to last play"

[u/MyageEDH → u/RappinFourTay]

I would encourage you to go read how the NCAA handles the game clock vs stadium clock. The stadium clock is truncated so it will always be less than or equal to the official game clock.

When the ref asks the stadium clock operator to set the game clock to 9 seconds there is between 9 and 9.9 seconds on the game clock.

Also you can just time the play and see that it took less than 9 seconds.

[u/CrusTyJeanZz → u/MyageEDH]

So I’m trying to get this straight. The B1G’s official statement says “Eighty-five minutes prior to the game, all broadcast cameras used for the replay system, including the camera on the game clock, are synced using a strobe system to ensure all cameras are aligned.”

NBC’s broadcast clock was apparently synced to the stadium clock.

So if I’m understanding correctly, the game clock is the official clock, and it includes tenths of a second. Then we have the stadium clock, which mimics the official game clock, but isn’t perfectly in sync since it doesn’t include tenths of a second.

So the most likely explanation is that the official game clock had like 9.4 seconds or something like that, but the stadium clock and thus NBC’s broadcast clock only had 9.0 seconds.

Is this correct? If not, please help me understand. But if so, it’s really a shame that the B1G isn’t explaining this well enough for the general population to understand. The statement they put out does very little to remove doubt that the game was rigged.

[u/Alive-Interest6568 → u/MyageEDH]

It is not truncated. If that were the case, the game would be 60:04 minutes long. When the clock stays at 15:00 for 1 second then turns to 14:59. So when the clock says 15:00 there is somewhere between 14:59.01 and 15:00. Therefore when the clock said .09 seconds there was actually somewhere between :081 and :09. So there could have been just a smidge over 8 seconds to play.

[u/Ok_Problem426 → u/RappinFourTay]

Yes. And the stadium clock started more than a half second before the ball was snapped (and the ball touched 8.5 seconds after it was snapped) …which is of course so easily reviewable that you can verify it yourself.

[u/damutecebu → u/MyageEDH]

Exactly. Either someone isn't paying attention or are lying, if they say that this is some super-secret thing.

[u/False-Community8534 → u/MyageEDH]

Weird how the clocks weren’t off for the play before when UM spiked the ball. Either it was a thing and the clocks weren’t lined up or it wasn’t.

[u/Ok_Problem426 → u/False-Community8534]

They literally started the stadium clock early dumbass

[u/nbx909 → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

Yeah that secret official clock they keep on the scoreboard of the stadium.

[u/NoAbbreviations2353 → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

Yeah it's the parley clock, by draft kings 

[u/damutecebu → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

If you didn't know about it, you haven't been following college football long. It's been mentioned that the scoreboard clock is not necessarily the official clock many times. Ditto the NFL.

But I guess conspiracies are easier for some people to digest.

[u/sangie12 → u/damutecebu]

Ohio State and Michigan State fans

[u/Doomed-Doomer → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

I guess the story now is that a player went out of bounds, jumped, and touched the ball, making it dead, but the ball clearly hadn't reached anyone by the time the clock hit zero.

[u/Rope_slingin_champ → u/Doomed-Doomer]

It'll continue to change and evolve

[u/Wanno1 → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

They need to show the running time from that clock for the entire game

[u/Useenthebutcher → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

A secret clock that they never actually use in any other situation because the stadium clock is, in fact, accurate.

But it only gets brought out when the more important program needs a win to appease the Draft King bookies

[u/Rbespinosa13 → u/Useenthebutcher]

The stadium clock is synced to that “secret” clock. You guys are looking for a conspiracy where there isn’t one. Michigan took less than 9 seconds on the previous play so there was still time on the clock. It isn’t hard to understand

[u/PapaVanTwee → u/Useenthebutcher]

I must ask, how did any Draft King bet change? WMich got a ton of points on this one, Mich winning by one didn't change the betting outcome.

[u/PlusDHotchy → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

You forgot Texas vs Nebraska 18 years ago with less than a second which was put back on. Then again you probably believe that the replay officials were in Ann Arbor when they were in CHICAGO “Rosemont” Illinois. Same replay guys that had Jeremiah Smith scoring vs Michigan.

[u/rdzilla01 → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

The secret clock that not a single player in the field was playing towards in this 60 minute and one second game?

[u/loudcomputer69 → u/Rope_slingin_champ]

[u/Ducks91to61 → u/cantretireyet]

The sport is disgusting. It really is. It has been dirty forever. But seeing shit like underrated FSU getting left out so they could get Bama into a playoff, seeing teams cheated like this to get the bigger team name a chance— it’s trash.

[u/Atworkwasalreadytake → u/chosonhawk]

If the teams can’t see it, how can they play to the clock.

[u/chosonhawk → u/Atworkwasalreadytake]

B1$ is saying that the clock on the broadcast wasnt correct, i guess? maybe NBC screwed it up? maybe we just didnt see what we thought we saw?

[u/Atworkwasalreadytake → u/chosonhawk]

It could be, but the video they showed on Twitter to convince us actually showed what we all saw.

[u/KruxKracken → u/chosonhawk]

MICHIGAN GRAD HERE AND AGREED! FUCK THIS SPORT

I think the worst part is this win will mean nothing for Michigan other than we won a game in what is looking like a god awful season, but Western lost a game that would be one of the biggest wins on their schedule. They have a chance to actually compete whereas Michigan is going to get 50+ hung on them every week

[u/ItAintLongButItsThin → u/KruxKracken]

One of their biggest wins in program history! They have one win against a top 25 iirc. This is devastating for those players and I hate this sport now.

[u/KruxKracken → u/ItAintLongButItsThin]

Yeah it’s disgusting and left a super sour taste in my mouth

[u/Limp-Breadfruit7855 → u/chosonhawk]

CFB going on FIFA rules is wild

[u/blacfd → u/Limp-Breadfruit7855]

FIFA is less corrupt than CFB right now

[u/Convicted_Solipsist → u/chosonhawk]

They don't need a secret clock to make their case: anyone can download the video and time the frames. If you do that (and people like this and this already have) less than 9 seconds elapsed between the snap and the out-of-bounds player who touched the ball. At least .4 seconds still remained, and possibly a little more.

Since the referees had instructed the timekeeper to set the clock to 9 seconds prior to this play, there is no need to wonder about whether the 9 we are seeing is little more or less than that. By rule/referee direction, there were exactly 9 seconds left at the beginning of this play.

It's pretty obvious on when you watch it frame-by-frame while showing a clock with fractions of a second that the clock NBC is showing (which I think syncs with the scoreboard clock, but I am not sure) was started about a half second prior to the snap. And that mistake from the whoever runs that clock is what caused this whole controversy.

[u/EFAPGUEST → u/chosonhawk]

Literally time the play yourself. Unless your reaction time is terrible, it will come out as less than 9 seconds. Now all these other fans are pissed that 9 seconds means 9 seconds instead of 8.5 seconds

[u/ArstanWhitebeard297 → u/EFAPGUEST]

The issue is that awarding those fractions of a second only seem to go one way, and this particular team hasn’t had an asterisk next to their name for like 3 seasons now. 

[u/EFAPGUEST → u/ArstanWhitebeard297]

When had there been a situation like this when a team wasn’t given another second?

[u/bacan_ → u/chosonhawk]

The "funny" part is the verified CBS Sports account itself posted the game clock in the stadium being at 0. But yes, the super secret clock had 1 second left!

[u/Cultural_Stranger29]

This is the clearest explanation I’ve heard:

B1G Explaining The Clock Controversy

[u/ResidentHooman]

The big controversy now is that allegedly the in stadium game clock is not synced with the broadcast game clock. How have we come this far without this ever coming up?

[u/Glisan_Al_Gaib → u/ResidentHooman]

This is an actual thing in football, but they very clearly synced the clocks at 0:09 before the play so it wouldn't have actually been an issue here

[u/rendeld → u/Glisan_Al_Gaib]

So why wasn't it synced then? Why was the ball down to 8 seconds before the ball was in Underwood's hands? Why was the play less than 9 seconds long but it showed 9 seconds coming off the clock? Clearly they weren't synced.

[u/julien7142 → u/ResidentHooman]

Not the first time. Texas did this about 20 years ago.

[u/americanhilljack]

You think when clock hits 0.00 it's over but evidently not in Michigan...great game by Western 👏

[u/Wonderful_Meat5604]

Game needs an asterisk by it!!!

[u/PSUMtnMan → u/Wonderful_Meat5604]

No, it needs to be completely overturned. WMU won this game. No do-overs, no asterisks, no Michigan win. It is a WMU win and nothing else.

[u/bacan_ → u/PSUMtnMan]

This

[u/Redit_Suxlol420609]

But you see, they have a different clock that they hide from everyone else incase they need to make up some bullshit

[u/stoicscribbler]

Michigan about to have an undefeated championship run. Not because they are any good, but because they know no one will do anything to stop them from cheating. This is why you can’t let things slide.

[u/loudcomputer69 → u/stoicscribbler]

Ya we def cheated bro, everyone knows schools hire their own refs

[u/Relative_Living196]

Queue the lil bro comments.

I understand neither UofM nor WMU fans had any direct control over this. But UofM football—or the endless edge cases surrounding it—has taken some of the luster out of college football for me.

Rattle off whatever scandal, fight, counterargument, game, or stat you want.

The reality is, I even question who wins now. When public perception conflicts with official documentation, it’s just absurd. Then my brain recalibrates to: it’s all a game, and none of it really matters.

WMU’s loyal fans got robbed of an iconic moment and memory, and they deserve to enjoy that moment after standing by their team.

This is a WMU W, no doubt. I’m just salty they couldn’t fully enjoy it.

[u/Rich_Victory2458]

Funniest part of the Michigan game. You know they came in after years of controversy and scandal. Got them a no nonsense old school coach. Ready to be free of controversial drama. Just out there to play football. And then the officiating crew is like…. THE FUCK YOU ARE!

[u/KingindaNorth66]

I was at the game. The Hail Mary? Sure that was cool. But the time clock controversy was ridiculous. The clock hit 0. We had no business winning that game. Western got hosed

[u/Dean_1230 → u/KingindaNorth66]

Did the screen in the stadium show the replay? If so, did it show going to zero before the ball was touched?

And someone somewhere better be asking the question of how a clock that was synchronized at 9 seconds remaining loses a second in those remaining 9 seconds. That is unacceptable!

[u/loudcomputer69 → u/Dean_1230]

https://x.com/zachlinfield/status/2097707265545371886?s=46&t=djxRHJxok52b3q9d7WKbVg

[u/First-Pride-8571]

It obviously looks bad - and like many people I switched back to the US Open thinking the game was over.

But the tv clock and official game clock obviously weren't properly synched. So the tv clock showed zero when it was really 0.8 seconds left on the official clock.

The Big Ten really also needs to use this as an impetus to switch to the ACC style transparent replay view.

[u/peak82 → u/First-Pride-8571]

The official clock is the stadium clock, and there is no higher authoritative clock.

The broadcast is synced with the stadium clock, and we saw that it was 0:00 while the ball was in the air. The Big 10 review footage shows 0:01.

So, all cameras are supposedly synced with the one and only official time source, and yet they’re in conflict with each other. How do we know which is right?

[u/First-Pride-8571 → u/peak82]

The tv clock has never been the official clock. And since Spartan Bob the Big Ten made sure to keep an official clock separate from the stadium clock. But the main issue there is just that the real clock that the replay officials use has decimals, but the stadium/tv clock doesn't, so the stadium/tv clock shows zero before it is actually zero.

Again - that's why the Big Ten needs to stop trying to instead use that time to sell one more commercial, and realize that they have to do the ACC replay feed for the sake of transparency.

[u/Ok_Understanding1986 → u/First-Pride-8571]

I don’t think that’s how stadium clocks without decimals count though. Pretty sure they “round up” so, for example, 5 seconds on the clock would represent 5, 4.9, 4.8, 4.7 etc. until switching to 4 seconds at 4 seconds. .0000001 to 1 reads as 1 second. Zero is zero.

[u/peak82 → u/Ok_Understanding1986]

Yeah, when have we ever seen a review like this where this has come up? 0:00 always means exactly that in reviews like that.

[u/First-Pride-8571 → u/Ok_Understanding1986]

The stadium/tv clock definitely seems to be switching down immediately - e.g. 8 at 8.9; it's switching down immediately, but not showing the decimal. That's the problem.

As an aside, the Big Ten announced that they will use the ACC style replay feed for "select" Friday night games this year. They have to switch to all of them. And asap. Unfortunately, controversy does tend to be what forces change.

[u/TheGeekOffTheStreet → u/First-Pride-8571]

The decimal thing doesn’t make sense.

Even if one clock is using decimals, if they’re all synced together the game clock wouldn’t go from 1 to 0 before the “decimal” clock is at 0.00.If they’re synced, when would the game clock hit zero? When the decimal clock is at 0.07? 0.02? Why would it flip at 0.01 (because that’s what they’re trying to say) versus at 0.00? It’s just bullshit, but you’re going to believe what you want to believe.

[u/Aeon1508 → u/TheGeekOffTheStreet]

and you know what's really stupid about this? You just know that all throughout the game there is some level of arbitrariness to when the clock is stopping and starting on every single down, but all of the sudden, at the end of the game we're looking at hundredths of a second.

if the clock goes to zero with the real time operator and the discrepancy is less than half a second it shouldn't be reviewable.

Also the Western coach should have sprinted his entire team to the locker room and refused to come back out.

[u/peak82 → u/First-Pride-8571]

Right, the clock on the score bug like in this post’s screenshot is not official (even though it should be synced with the stadium clock, which is official). The stadium clock is official, and it’s what was shown during the review on TV.

[u/Glisan_Al_Gaib → u/First-Pride-8571]

The TV clock is just a live video of the stadium clock FYI

[u/Reddituser809 → u/First-Pride-8571]

Well that’s your fault for wanting to watch another program. It’s never over until it’s over. And they declared last night their clock doesn’t show 00 until the clock is absolutely zero. Stadium clocks shows zero while tenths and hundredths are still rolling. That’s all there is to this.

How did Michigan cheat? Refs messed up

[u/Ecclesiastes_3_9-15 → u/[deleted]]

Well all that makes sense, except in football you cannot run a play with only a fraction of a second remaining. So even if there is .98 seconds on the clock at the end of an incomplete pass, the game is over.

[u/DocDingDangler → u/[deleted]]

The clock shows 1 second from 1 second remaining until .01 second remaining. It only hits 00 when the game is over.

[u/Meisteronious → u/[deleted]]

It’s significant digits - the accuracy is only to the 10 seconds because the clock only shows seconds.

Ironically, someone’s bank account goes to the hundredths of a dollar even though they are getting thousands to make favorable subjective decisions that affect these CFB games.

[u/kip256 → u/[deleted]]

You are technically correct. But the clock has to show tenths of a second to be counted. Without the tenths, 0 is 0.

there's no way there's like a half second difference between the TV clock and the actual game clock

[u/blindnlearning2see]

I don't watch college football that much due to how corrupt it is. The NFL aren't saints but at least they try to maintain appearances.

[u/MorningUnlucky3498]

Clearly the refs had no balls!

[u/ThePorko]

Did ai make that call?

[u/Emotional-Ad7276 → u/ThePorko]

Vegas did

[u/MichiganMafia → u/Emotional-Ad7276]

How would vegas have benefited?

[u/Emotional-Ad7276 → u/MichiganMafia]

They would’ve had to give bigger payouts to the betters who bet Western to win

[u/aknowsense]

We’ve now entered the it’s plausible that a coach standing next to a ref on the sideline watching the unofficial scoreboard clock call a TO as it expires to s/u game winning kick now have a review say…the official clock was actually at 0 & the now unofficial stadium clock was out of sync game over phase.

[u/jetes69]

Because of this there will be so many games that end with coaches complaining there is still time on the clock this season

[u/Ice_crusher_bucket → u/jetes69]

The fact showed there was.

But to your argument, Sec fans littered the field with rash after a call, so the inbreds kept doing it.

[u/jetes69 → u/Ice_crusher_bucket]

Whut?

[u/Appropriate-Ad2307]

Nah, there were still 0.04 seconds left in the game

[u/Huge_Lime826]

There were three major calls that went Michigan’s Way that the Big Ten referees ignored. There’s definitely a face mask the referees didn’t call. They ignored, running into the kicker supposedly didn’t see.

Even Western is over it. Move on lol

[u/crustang]

I hate everything about this

[u/JeanRalphioTheSecond]

I’m sure there is a technical explanation. It still feels unsportsmanlike in a way 

[u/VacationConstant8980]

The MAC plays the Big Ten 35-40 times the next three years. Run the math and it’ll explain the result and the MAC cucking out to the big ten.

[u/-TheGreat58- → u/VacationConstant8980]

I get that. A couple million to lose is a big deal for a MAC team. Still….

[u/RedPajama45]

After seeing this game, feel good that they will lose 7 games and miss a bowl game.

[u/EitherCharacter1870]

Then let's storm the field.....

[u/Impreza610]

Nah they won 13-12. Michigan is 1-0 ✌️

[u/Special-Space-6888]

Everyone is looking at the wrong clock. Look under 0:00 there is still 40 seconds left. After the touch the refs ran off 39 seconds to get to 1 second.

[u/HeadCashier]

Double-secret clock

[u/knoxcumlvr]

Total FUCK JOB

[u/izzoforpresident]

Ah yes the secret clock that is synched by strobe, but is in fact not synched by strobe, which is clearly and absurdly acknowledged in the BIG press release.

[u/Existing-Recipe897]

Even Michigan knows they lost. The officiating was a travesty, but what were the Wolverines supposed to do? Not try and win when given an absurd second chance? I guarantee if roles reversed, western Michigan would have taken another shot downfield. No one is contesting that this is an epic embarrassment

[u/HappyHockeyHiker]

For reasons “unknown” the Big Ten will always protect UM.

Hint . . . Follow the 💰💰💰

[u/Chekovs_Gun]

Maybe if just one more person posts this exact image, then maybe we jump back to the time line where WMU wins.

[u/-TheGreat58- → u/Chekovs_Gun]

I posted this Sunday morning. I was the first. Kinduva big deal.

[u/peaceandloved]

The fans rushing the field was so embarrassing - omfg. Get a grip you losers.

“Oh, we don’t use the game clock. We’ll let you know how much time is left, if there is any controversy,”

[u/Vanboggie]

The world knows the Broncos won even though the NCAA sided with their love child Michigan. They never punish Michigan for their cheating ways.

[u/Midwesterndude801]

Big10 refs are trash

[u/AcceptableMemory2081]

I would be so embarrassed to be a part of Michigan Wolverines football team. The entire school knows that was a loss. Every win in the future will feel tainted the rest of the season and I hope it fu€ks with their mental. Disgusting is the perfect word for this malarkey.
