The 2008 Colorado State Rams football team represents Colorado State University in the college football 2008 season. They play their home games at Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins, CO and were led by first year coach Steve Fairchild. CSU played Colorado in the Rocky Mountain Showdown to begin the season on August 31, 2008 and closed the season in Laramie against Wyoming on November 22, 2008. In addition to the slate of eight conference games, four at home and four on the road, the Rams traveled to Berkeley, CA to play the University of California at Berkeley, while having hosted Sacramento State and Houston.
The Rams finished the regular season in fourth place in the Mountain West Conference and accepted a bid to the 2008 New Mexico Bowl on December 20, where they defeated the Fresno State Bulldogs.
