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.
