After knocking off Oklahoma in the BCS Championship Game this past Thursday, the Florida Gators earned three of the staff's five first place votes and top the final edition of the 2008 SCS.com College Football Fab 15. Utah, who went unbeaten this season, earned a first place vote of their own and finished second, while Southern Cal claimed the fifth and final top vote and came in third. Big XII rivals Texas and Oklahoma rounded out the top five, while another non-BCS squad, TCU, came in at number six. Alabama, Penn State, Ohio State, and Oregon complete the postseason top ten.
