very small differences. they put the schedule in the magazine, and they give conference predictions as well....

for top 25 teams they also get more indepth on players leaving, starters, freshmen coming in etc......

magazine is $30, so its worth the investment. really helps me out to start the year...especially with some smaller conference teams

Got this blue ribbon last year and I just did not like the way it was setup at all. I get phil steele Book for NCAAF so still looking for a preview guide like that, from a good source for the rest of the sports.

really Chicago......i think its a great layout...breaks everything out clearly and gives you a clear understanding up who is good and who isnt.

if you do find something else that is good, then let me know...im always up for reading CBB publications!

Been a Blue Ribbon fan for years. I probably have some lying around from early 90's but.....

Their shipping prices are ridiculous for multiple copies. I like to give these as gifts but shipping for one is $11.90 and for three it is $31.90. Now, I'm pretty sure these fit into that postal box they advertise on TV so there ain't no way it costs an extra $20 to pick up 2 more books and put them into one of those boxes.

Since there is no price break for ordering online, does anybody know if they still sell these at bookstores? They did at one time and then didn't but not sure now...

Phil Steele mag is garbage, there's more print about 2009, 2008 then there's 2010. In my opinion theres alot better with blue ribbon

i agree about the part where he goes too much into the history. i dont like it either, but the information is staggering. i like the stats on the right side of the team pages. great info and he does a great job with starters and returning starters. some publications just look at actual starts and phil will look at everything to determine who the "real" starter was.

Is the Phil Steele 2010 Basketball book out yet?

I have been looking for it the last 2 weeks and have not found it yet.
