The San Jose SaberCats season was the 14th season for the franchise. The SaberCats looked to improve on their 13âÂÂ3 record from 2007 and defend their ArenaBowl title. Finishing the regular season with an 11âÂÂ5 record, though not as successful as the previous season, still won them a third consecutive Western Division title, and they went into the playoffs as the 2nd seed in the American Conference. In their Divisional round game, they defeated the Colorado Crush, 64âÂÂ51, to advance to the American Conference Championship. In that game, the SaberCats defeated the Grand Rapids Rampage 81âÂÂ55, to advance to their second consecutive ArenaBowl. The SaberCats played the Philadelphia Soul in ArenaBowl XXII, which they lost, 59âÂÂ56.
