LOS ANGELES -- Jim Harbaugh is nowhere to be seen, but his influence is everywhere.
As Michigan players and coaches assemble around microphones ahead of their third straight College Football Playoff appearance (vs. Alabama, Monday, 5 ET, ESPN), Harbaugh's presence can be felt throughout the interview rooms.
Even though Harbaugh is still a few days away from speaking himself, you can hear him as players answer questions, reverting to Harbaugh's mantras like they're reading from a script authored by their head coach.
