 A must-have for serious fans of college football
I'll never read this entire book but that's not the point. It is a definitive reference for the last 50+ years of college football. Although only the major (70 or so) programs are covered, I have discovered facts I never knew. It's also a great book if you just have 10-15 minutes to read as you can browse a season or a few key games & then just leave it. Additionally, it makes a wonderful gift for the younger fans who can find a storehouse of information on why some of the greatest rivalries exist. Thorough, yet concise; reverent, yet with nuggets of humor. I recommend it without reservation.
Excellent reference
For the college football fan, this is an excellent reference work. It covers the game for each year from 1953 with game recaps, poll standings, and conference standings. There is also a year by year lineups and records for 70 major colleges. I recommend it highly.
 Where are the coaches polls?
I enjoyed the book but I do have one problem. The USA Today currently is the home for the weekly USA Today Coaches Football Polls, yet this book only published the weekly polls from the Associated Press. If USA Today is going to put their name on it, the least they could do is include the past weekly polls from their own newspaper.
Awesome Resource
This book simply has a stunning amount of information on college football -- 1400 pages of facts and figures that you won't find anywhere else. If you're interested in the history of the college game, this book is a must have.
