Officiating crews from the Mid-American and the Big 12 conferences have been suspended after making game-deciding mistakes in the Central Michigan-Oklahoma State game on Saturday in Stillwater, Okla.

The eight MAC officials, who will be suspended two games, misinterpreted a rule that extended the game when it should have been over and allowed the Chippewas to score a wild, winning touchdown on a Hail Mary and lateral that covered half the field for a 30-27 upset of then-No. 17 Oklahoma State.

The two Big 12 officials, who were in charge of video replay, missed an opportunity to correct the error.

“After a thorough review and evaluation of the entire Central Michigan at Oklahoma State contest, we have decided to suspend the officiating crew for the next two consecutive weeks. I have personally informed the crew of our decision,” said Bill Carollo, coordinator of officials for the MAC.

The Big 12 officials also will be suspended two games.

"The crew missed an opportunity to advise the MAC officiating crew of the misapplication of the penalty giving CMU an untimed down that resulted in its game-winning touchdown," Big 12 coordinator of officials Walt Anderson said in a statement. "NCAA rules permit instant replay to correct egregious errors and it is unacceptable that it did not occur in this situation. Additionally, this replay crew will not be eligible for assignment to an end-of-season bowl game."
