FBS Teams
NCAA Football 08 features all 119 current Division I FBS
(Football Bowl Subdivision) teams from 11 various con-
ferences: the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Big Ten,
Big 12, Big East, Conference USA (C-USA), Mid-American
Conference (MAC), Mountain West, Pacifi c-10 (PAC-10),
Southeastern Conference (SEC), Sun Belt and Western
Athletic Conference (WAC). A handful of teams, such as
Notre Dame, operate independent football programs with
no offi cial conference affi liations.
Each team has Report Card grades that indicate its rela-
tive strength overall as well on offense and defense.
Below the grades are
prestige ratings (from one to
six stars), which refl ect the
reputations of each school’s
academics, program and
coach, and a quick recap of
each team’s 2006 season.
Not surprisingly, teams with
top grades and high pres-
tige ratings are the top-tier
schools in the game—and
therefore ideal team choic-
es for fi rst-time players.
This year’s strategy guide
is the fi rst to offer complete
offensive and defensive
depth charts. Each player is
represented by a box: The
top number is that player’s
overall rating (kick/pass
power and accuracy stats
are also listed for quarter-
backs, punters and kickers);
the bottom number is the jersey number.
All ratings are based on the Xbox and PlayStation 2
versions of the game; ratings on other versions should be
similar but may vary by a few points.
The depth charts also show where each team’s three
impact players are. Use the depth charts to look for
mismatches between positions or weaknesses to exploit
(especially in your opponent’s offensive/defensive lines).
Finally, each team profi le lists the default coaching phi-
losophies and playcall tendencies (as found in the game’s
Dynasty Mode) as well as the 12 default offensive play
sets. This gives you a general idea of what to expect from
computer opponents.
Best of the Best: USC
is the only team with
an overall A+ grade.
