Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh does a ton of things to get under the skin of his opponents. Some of it is intentional, a bit of gamesmanship here and there to gain any edge in the fierce arena of college football competition. Some of it is unintentional, just ways that Jim Harbaugh's personal universe doesn't jive with someone else's expectations for a college football coach.
In last week's Inside College Football column, colleague Dennis Dodd highlighted Harbaugh's practice of not releasing an official depth chart the week of a game. The same gamesmanship edge could be gained by dropping a dozen "OR" designations on the depth chart, but not printing a two-deep breakdown of the lineups at all forces the opposing coaches to use film and formulate their own.
This week, Colorado responded to Michigan with a legendary act of mid-week media relations taunting. Since the Wolverines won't release a depth chart, Colorado responded with a depth chart full of celebrities and characters from television and movies.
Using Colorado's depth chart, we've created a watch list for Michigan's coaches. If Harbaugh's assistants study these films, they'll get a good idea of what they're facing on Saturday.
