The USA today college football encyclopedia is the result of fifteen years of research by authors Bob Boyles and Paul Guido. In this book you will find information such as: recaps of more than 8,000 games; detailed reviews of more than fifty-seven college football seasons; complete season-by-season lineups and records of more than seventy major programs; personality profiles of some of the game's biggest stars and coaches; season-by-season award winners, all-American teams, polls, and NFL drafts. The book also includes the authors' own College Football Performance Formula, a three-leveled calculation developed to measure the achievement of every team's season since 1953. It permits readers to compare teams within a given season and to compare teams from different seasons.
