Overview: Game Plan has become much thicker and heavier this year, but the difference is the paper used for the pages. The page count is the same as last year (210pp.). Per-team coverage is just over one full page on average. Game Plan's three-year historical prediction accuracy is middle-of-the-pack, sixth out of eleven publications and web sites.
Per-team information: There is a fairly lengthy discussion of offensive and defensive prospects for the coming season. There's a project two-deep with returning starters marked, schedule, previous year's results and pointspreads, and some team/opponent statistical information. Key players returning and lost are mentioned in the text. The discussion is fairly detailed and mentions the top couple of players at many positions.
Per-conference information: A predicted order of finish is given, without any commentary.
National information: There is a top 25 presented with a short overall commentary (beside the list, rather than per-team).
Recap (previous year) information: In each team's section, there is per-game team statistical information (e.g., total rushing yards gained and given up) and scores of the previous year's games with pointspreads.
Division I-AA information: None.
