NBC's clock probably wasn't synced with the game clock

Downvote away if you want to shoot the messenger, I don't care who won, but watch how fast the clock NBC showed goes from 9 to 8.
It goes from 9 to 8 almost immediately, not after a full second and this video shows the play from the snap. So if the official clock started at the full 9 seconds, it would have given the play more time than the broadcast clock.
The play before was a spike at 11 seconds so the game clock was set to 9 seconds because 2 seconds is taken off after a spike.

100%. It’s NBC’s screw up. They also had added a second on the prior spike bc NBC showed 2 seconds running off. The NBC clock was off.
One could even stop watch the play with their own timer and see that the refs got it right on the field. It took less than 8 seconds from snap to the guy who jumped from out of bounds touching the ball. So if there’s 9 seconds when the play started, you’d see why there was time left.
This stuff happens all the time in the NBA and the clock is show in 1/10 seconds. Perhaps football should go to that too.

Thats how time works. It starts at 9. Not 10. Notice how it takes approximately 1 mississippi to go from 8 to 7. Whoa.

Did you watch the video?
Going from 9 to 8, took way less time than going 8 to 7.
If you think Western Michigan got hosed, then use your phone’s stopwatch and time the play from snap to finish yourself. The play took less than 9 seconds, hence why there would be time left on the clock if the play starts at 9 seconds.
This isn’t rocket science.

You realize there are milliseconds that arent shown and it could have been almost 8 seconds instead of having just turned 9 seconds right?

That’s how seconds work, retard

Those clocks don’t show milliseconds
It could’ve been 8.2 seconds left and the clock showed 9 because it was more than 8
This isn’t hard to understand

It's the stadium clock, which is the same clock the Big 10 replay official used. NBC is just superimposing it in the screen.
Somebody shifted the time by a half-second and they need to investigate who it was.

Maybe it wasn’t at the full second when it was stopped originally. Just because it shows 9 doesn’t mean it’s a full 9.

But you are admitting why NBC’s clock was wrong.
The prior play, after Michigan spikes the ball, the refs said to set the clock at 9 seconds. 9 seconds is 9 seconds. It’s not 8.2 seconds which is what NBC was using,
That’s why that first second on the TV feed goes off so fast compared to the other full seconds as time ticked down. NBC probdbly did have it set at 8.2
Again, if you think WMU got screwed, use your own stopwatch from snap till rhe touch. It’s less than 9 seconds.

It’s not NBC’s clock in the replay. That’s an actual shot of the stadium clock. Which is why it looks like that in black and white and is shaking.

The clock on the broadcast clearly showed 0 seconds left. The clock on the feed that the Big 10 shared clearly showed 1 second left. Just depends which one you believe is correct.

So you don't think they should explain why the live broadcast and the replay booth have the clock hitting 0:00 and different moments in the play?

To be clear. 9 seconds would be displayed for anything between 9.0 and 9.9 seconds.
Going from 9.0 to 8.9 is 1/10th of a second. Going from 8.9 to 7.9 is a full second.
We would observe the former happen 10 times faster than the later.
TLDR; you do not understand basic math/time keeping yet are pretending to have some grand revelation.

THE REFEREES SAID TO SET THE CLOCK AT 9 exact seconds. They verbally said to do this after the prior play.
If the clock was set at 9 exact seconds on the clock that NBC was using, each change in second as the time elapsed wouod be the same rate.
But if you watch the NBC clock, it doesn’t happen that way. The first second change goes way faster than the rest of them. Which means NBC was using a clock set at 8.2, instead of the 9 that again, rhe refs said to use before the play even began
