Colorado faces off against Michigan this week in a stern test, but it appears they can still have a good time prior to the difficult road matchup.

Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines do not release a weekly depth chart ahead of their contests, so the Buffaloes decided to have some fun with their own on Tuesday.

Instead of naming their usual players, the school put out a depth chart with famous people from various walks of the entertainment world.

Here are the five best selections from the chart to send to battle against Michigan on Saturday.

5. Michael "Squints" Palledorous, Kicker

To be a kicker in major college football, one must have endless courage and no fear of the moment. The diminutive Michael "Squints" Palledorous from "The Sandlot" certainly fits that mold, as evidenced by his legendary move to attract the attention of Wendy Peffercorn.

4. Lloyd Christmas, Punt Returner

As one of the two main characters of "Dumb and Dumber," Lloyd Christmas showed his ability to function as a member of a unit, a key ingredient in any member of the special-teams squad. The speedy limo driver showed some pretty impressive moves, weaving his way through a multitude of people in hopes of catching a departing plane. Christmas could be a weapon for the Buffaloes in flipping field position in Michigan.

3. Peter Griffin, Weak Safety

The popular father from "Family Guy" actually has some football experience from his brief stint with the New England Patriots and the powerhouse London Silly Nannies. Griffin's size would certainly cause problems for the Michigan rushing attack, but his lack of endurance could let him down in the later stages of the game.

2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Center

The NBA legend is one of the most dominant centers in basketball history, and Colorado is hoping that dominance can transfer to the same position in a different sport. Abdul-Jabbar's height would certainly cause problems for quarterback Sefo Liufau to throw behind, but the 7-foot-2 giant could keep defenders at bay with his impressive wingspan.

1. Austin Powers, Defensive End

When recruiting someone to wreak havoc on the opposing offensive line, a man who's middle name is "Danger" is about as good as it gets. If Austin Powers can navigate his way through even the toughest of Dr. Evil's obstacles, then penetrating an offensive line should be no problem for the International Man of Mystery. The only downside is that Powers would almost certainly receive a few penalties for over-the-top dances following a sack.
