This is the Paperless Preview Project: a (hopefully) collaborative attempt at providing a single, convenient reference page to anyone looking for team preview information as we approach the 2008 college football season. Links to previews for all 120 D-I teams are included below, organized alphabetically by conference, with BCS conferences listed first.
The PPP seeks to include links to as many worthwhile free team previews as possible, be they from mainstream sports sites, college football blogs, newspapers, or wherever. To suggest a link, please leave it in the comments or e-mail it to jerry [at] warblogeagle [dot] com. For an introduction and a further explanation of what constitutes "worthwhile," please click here. [Update: I should probably clarify that most (though not all, particularly of the "name" teams) of the ESPN previews require an Insider subscription. So while I know an awful lot of CFB fans (myself included) have Insider, they're not completely "free." Sorry.]
This page will be updated regularly between now and the start of the season, so bookmark accordingly and enjoy.

I also like the Gold Sheet's preview at www.goldsheet.com. Lots of historical and stat info.
awesome collection and thanks for posting it.
(one little thing, you switched up North Carolina and North Carolina State's Athlon pages. That's the sorta thing that gets ornery Wolfpack fans rankled)
Anon 3:53, if I can't link to it, it doesn't do the PPP much good. But I guess I can leave the comment up.
Anon 8:54, thanks for the heads-up. I'd be stunned if there aren't more little slip-ups hidden out there somewhere.
You will go to heaven for this post.
Well done. Thanks -
I thank you for Hey Jenny Slater's inclusion in this project despite its obvious unworthiness. Your check is on the way. ; )
My name is HoosierHorn and I approve of this compilation of football related material during the terrible time that is called "The dog days of summer" also known as "baseball-only" season aka "f the offseason"!!!
Doug, why would anyone who's interested in reading up on LSU not also be interested in what Britney would have to say about them? (And thank you, I'm due for a new pair of sneaks.)
Thanks to all for the props. Glad you enjoy it. Should be updated again later this week, hopefully w/ more Big 12 and Pac-10.
Fantastic addition to the world of college football. Over at Bama Sports Report (ugly word around here, I know), we're putting together a 2008 SEC Preview. Currently, we're getting ready to wrap up the East, and moving on the the West.
I like 'em, but it's possible I may be biased.
One final note - awesome blog name. I remember when Joe Cribb's All Star Car Wash was a fixture on 280 in Birmingham. And, since he was then a Stallion and no longer a Tiger, I rooted openly for him!
Barking Carnival has a State of The Union preview of every Big 12 team.
I think your readers will like the mix of analysis and humor.
