Two Deep Class Breakdown: Michigan by Phil Steele

Looks like Michigan fields the least experienced 2 Deep team in all of college football next year, according to Phil Steele. He has Wolverines ranked 130th (last) in the land.

This probably explains why Penn State, Iowa, Wisconsin and Ohio State are getting most of love for 2017. 

I do think Phil Steele's method has its flaws because if you look at his predicted depth charts for teams in his magazines, they are frequently way off from actual starters for that season, ignore the reality of injuries, upperclassmen burnouts (never hitting the starting lineup) and the effect of his so called "VHTs" (very high talent) incoming freshman who do start and many of whom play comparatively-to-remarkably well to alternatives on the roster.  I bet Phil Steele has Solomon Vault listed as a starter for Northwestern, for example. He's injured and will miss 2017.

Whatever.

FWIW, I sorted the data for Big Ten teams and Notre Dame here. Note not a single Big Ten team cracks the Top 20 in Steele's 2 deep experience.

Will put my faith in Harbaugh and Downtown Brown and cheer the team on like a mad man no matter what.
