NCAA Football Division 1-AA Rankings
Final 2008: Spiders Claim First Title
Seven game into the season, Richmond had three losses and seemed a long shot to
make the playoffs. But the Spiders went undefeated the rest of the way in
the regular season and capped their run with a 24-7 victory over Montana in the
I-AA championship. Along the way, the Spiders knocked off defending
champion Appalachian State in the quarterfinals and overcame a 13-point deficit
to beat Northern Iowa in the semifinals to finish No. 1 in the final 2008 Index.
Here are the complete rankings for the 2008 season.
