Bought it at the GBC. Some other good stuff out there, Larry Seidel who wrote the popular (and good) investing in College Basketball has a new one out that talks more about game to game handicapping.
One thing about Blue Ribbon is that even though they are ahead of the game, I think this is going to be a hard season for adjusting. With the HS kids back in school the rich are going to get richer for awhile. BR never has done a great job of assessing what the difference is between a good team in say the Colonial versus a good team in the Big 10. Not that they are looking at this in a gambler's mentality, but I find a lot of what they write a bit confusing and difficult to use. Yeah Team A is going to be worse off than Team B, but how much different will it be? That is the sort of question you can't really answer even after reading 400 pages worth of information.
