Harbaugh pans fake Colorado depth chart

Michigan is one of the only teams in the country that doesn't release a weekly depth chart, so ahead of its matchup with the Wolverines, Colorado had a little fun with their own version.

The Buffaloes released an edition filled with characters from various realms of pop culture, and let's just say Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh wasn't overly amused.

"In our preparation for Colorado we've had a hard time working humor into the preparations," Harbaugh said in an interview on 97.1 FM in Detroit, per Nick Baumgardner of MLive.com. "They're a very good football team."

Harbaugh explained his failure to release a depth chart isn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, it's a calculated move, and he doesn't see much use for the practice in today's game.

"I saw the depth chart," he said. "I was trying to imagine how many people sat around and how many hours they worked on that. We've just found, I mean, when it comes to the depth chart - modern technology seems to have made the depth chart an outdated task by about 20 years. We've found studying last week's film of the opponent is the most accurate way of determining another team's depth chart."

Panning the move by Colorado is an interesting move by Harbaugh, who has gained fame for sleeping over at recruits' houses and appearing in rap videos.

All joking aside, the upstart Buffaloes should present a good test for Michigan on Saturday afternoon. Through two games of the 2016 season, Colorado is 11th in the country scoring 50 points per game, and sits in the top 20 in both passing and rushing yards per contest.
