No. 11 Michigan and No. 17 Florida open their seasons against each other on Saturday.in Arlington, Texas from AT&T Stadium, and before the game there has been an extremely petty stand-off between head coaches Jim Harbaugh and Jim McElwain.

It all started with the Florida coach complaining that Harbaugh hadn’t yet released his official roster for the game.
McElwain: "We haven't gotten into Michigan prep at all. When you guys get their roster let me know who we're playing." #Gators

Which led to Harbaugh firing back claiming that McElwain hadn’t announced who UF was starting at QB.
#Wolverines Harbaugh says he isn't announce starting quarterback, added he has not seen any mention of starting QB by Florida

Harbaugh decided to take his feud with McElwain up a notch by releasing a roster full NFL alumni in this week’s media guide instead of the team’s official roster.

Mac on Harbaugh: "He obviously felt he needed to do some things to be relevant and that's his choice. I probably wouldn't have done it."
