got my Blue Ribbon yesterday and talk about information. WOW!! Very very impressed with this. By far without question one of the most informative season preview yearbooks I have read.
BP how accurate are they with their predictions? I have noticed they differ quite about from other publications pre season rankings and what have you?

I'm not sure of the exact date, but they pride themselves on printing the publication as late as possible. Sure, faulty information gets through the cracks, but I've seen content already that is less than a month old. Railbird, it is impoosible to be accurate and up to date on a zillion college basketball teams. You complain incessantly on these forums because you aren't a happy person. Good Luck
dawg, they do a decent job of predicting the top 15 to 20 teams, but like everyone else(grades, suspensions, injuries, senioritis, coaching rumors, etc. etc.), mistakes are made. My #1 use with Blue Ribbon, is reading about bench players and newcomers who can contribute immediately or will need some seasoning. In 2005-2006, when Kansas had that great group of freshman, they nailed it that they would struggle in Nov. and Dec., and they did! They took their lumps early,(some losses were embarrassing--see Nevada), but got on a roll and beat Texas in the Big 12 Tourny in Dallas. Just one example. Good Luck
