  "account": "Boise State coach Spencer Danielson maintains that Western Michigan defeated Michigan in their Week 1 matchup, despite controversial replay decisions. Danielson, speaking at a press conference on Monday, stated that Western Michigan is officially 2-1 in the 2026 season, but many in the college football world consider them to be undefeated. The debate stems from Western's loss to No. 18 Michigan due to replay officials allowing another attempt after a failed Hail Mary, which led to Michigan's victory. ESPN's GameDay snubbed the matchup, and Danielson dismisses any debate, asserting that Western Michigan \"absolutely beat Michigan at Michigan\" and that it is a fact, not hype. Boise State faces Western Michigan on Saturday, September 26, with both teams vying for a top 25 ranking in the College Football Playoff.",
