Despite capturing a 7-1 record and another Southeast Division Title, the Power were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Columbus Comets once again.
'''2008 Season:''' Once again, the Power finished 6-2 and won the Southeast Division championship. Likewise, the Power were eliminated in the first round, losing 6-0 to the Kentucky Karma. '''2009 Season:'''For the 2009 season, the Power moved to the WFA and changed their name to the Gulf Coast Riptide because of naming issues with the former team owner Roy Jones, Jr. The team was placed in the American Conference Southeast Division along with Memphis, New Orleans, Emerald Coast and Jacksonville. Despite another well-played season and another 6-2 record, for the first time in franchise history, the Riptide missed the playoffs. This is because of the WFA's new playoff system which did not allow for any wildcards from the American Coference and because of the Riptide's two losses to the Jacksonville Dixie Blues.
The team finished fifth in the league with 38.3 points a game, and 12th in defense with 18.9 points allowed per game.
