Overview: Game Plan is much longer (210pp.) than it was the last time I found a copy (162pp., 2005), and costs the same $8.99. Game Plan has increased per-team coverage from slightly less than one page, to about 1.3 pages. Game Plan's three-year historical prediction accuracy is dead-last out of 12 publications.

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.
