Overview: Game Plan is a dollar more expensive than it was when I last found a copy (2004), but has the same length. Game Plan devotes a decent amount of space to each team, though less than a page each. While they don't put the starting line-up in a table they do at least mention most of the projected starters in the discussion. The discussion does not account for the results of spring football. Game Plan's three-year historical prediction accuracy is 7th out of eight publications.
Per-team information: There is a fairly lengthy discussion of offensive and defensive prospects for the coming season. All teams seem to get about a page. 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 without commentary.
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.
