2008 Tulane Green Wave football team
The 2008 Tulane Green Wave football team represented Tulane University in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Football Bowl Subdivision college football during the 2008 season. Tulane competed as a member of the Conference USA.
The team was led by second-year head coach Bob Toledo. Tulane finished the season with a 2–10 record. Despite this, sports columnist King Kaufman declared the Green Wave the national champions. In a Salon article, meant more to point out the flaws in the Bowl Championship Series than make a real argument in Tulane's favor, he wrote:
"Tulane beat Louisiana-Monroe, who beat Troy, who beat Middle Tennessee, who beat Maryland, who beat Wake Forest, who beat Mississippi ... Florida ... also beat Texas Tech, who beat Texas, who beat Oklahoma."
