Rankings from AFCA Poll

The 2008 Humboldt State Lumberjacks football team represented Humboldt State University—now known as California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt—as a member of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) during the 2008 NCAA Division II football season. Led by first-year head coach Rob Smith, the Lumberjacks compiled an overall record of 2–9 with a mark of 0–8 in conference play, placing last out of five teams in the GNAC. The team was outscored by its opponents 357 to 170 for the season. Humboldt State played home games at the Redwood Bowl in Arcata, California.

Humboldt State completed as an NCAA Division II independent in 2006 and 2007, but returned to GNAC competition in 2008 when the conference resumed sponsorship of football. Each GNAC member played each of its conference foes twice during the season (home and away) instead of just once.
