2008 Preseason College Football Power Rankings

Written by Jimmy Boyd

Jimmy Boyd wants to get you primed and ready for the upcoming college football season with his 2008 college football power rankings. These rankings don’t necessarily reflect who Jimmy likes to win it all as schedules and other factors play a big part in that, but they will get you up to speed on who you can expect the strongest teams in the country to be.

#1 Georgia Bulldogs – +900 to win 2009 BCS Championship at BetUS.com

With big expectations and a tough schedule, it is going to be tough for the Dawgs to get to the BCS title game, but having Knowshon Moreno and Matthew Stafford certainly helps matters.

#2 USC Trojans – +300 to win 2009 BCS Championship at BetUS.com

Southern Cal will be the cream of the crop in the Pac-10 with one of the best defenses in the country. If the Trojans can beat Ohio State at home on September 13th, they can run the table.

#3 Ohio State Buckeyes – +900 to win 2009 BCS Championship at BetUS.com

Ohio State is a big favorite to win the Big Ten as it boasts the most returning talent in the league. Bucks could run the table if they upset USC on the road.

#4 Florida Gators – +600 to win 2009 BCS Championship at BetUS.com

With Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and the talented Percy Harvin back, the Gators will be finding the end zone plenty in 2008, but will a young defense hold them back again?

#5 Oklahoma Sooners – +900 to win 2009 BCS Championship at BetUS.com

If Sam Bradford can duplicate his freshman campaign, the Sooners will be the class of the Big 12 South. Bob Stoops and company has bigger plans than just a conference title however.

#6 Missouri Tigers – +1400 to win 2009 BCS Championship at BetUS.com

Heisman Trophy finalist Chase Daniels will lead an explosive offensive attack, but the road to the BCS likely goes through Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game, again.

#7 West Virginia Mountaineers – +1600 to win 2009 BCS Championship at BetUS.com

No Rich Rodriguez likely hurts the mountain men in the long run, but they will be just fine this season with QB Pat White and speedy back Noel Devine leading the charge.

#8 Clemson Tigers – +2000 to win 2009 BCS Championship at BetUS.com

The Tigers have the ACC’s best offensive weapons with QB Cullen Harper and wide receiver Aaron Kelly. Clemson will have to shake a history of ill-time stumbles to challenge for a national title.

#9 LSU Tigers – +1200 to win 2009 BCS Championship at BetUS.com

No, I have not forgotten about the Tigers. The offense returns seven starters, but the unproven QB position could keep the Tigers from a chance at repeating. Still the team to beat in the SEC West.

#10 Auburn Tigers – +2000 to win 2009 BCS Championship at BetUS.com

The Tigers have averaged 10.5 wins over the last four seasons, but it is going to be tough to match those numbers with two new coordinators and a new offensive system in place.
