Thanks Sylvia, and my 2 cents:
NOTE: Those emblazone in bold are of special interest to me.
Sr. Ladies: Not so obvious. Kimmie in a bad slump; Emily at school much of the time, Alyssa and Bebe unable to come up to the plate when it counts.
Rachael to get revenge from last year's 'wuzz robbed' syndrome. Ashley wanting to get to the most possible Worlds for her; Unseasoned Senior Mirai; Very seasoned Senior Caroline; Chrissy and Katrina to make a statement.
Senior Men: Would be a huge surprise if Evan and Johnny did not come out 1&2 in no particular order. Jeremy, Ryan, Scott to face Stephen for that illustrious bronze medal with one of the following going for a breakthrough: Steenberg; Pennington, Campbell, Ward, Overett, Halverson and Phan. (This division is looking a-OK for the future of US Mens figure skating.)
Pairs We haven't a clue about Castile/Okolski, Innoue/Baldwin, Nam/Leftheris this season.
We know something about Evora/Ladwiq, Vise/Trent, and McLaughlin/Brubaker challenging the leaders for a spot on the podium. And keep your eye on Trombley/Ibarra to make a statement.
Ice Dance All those same teams you read about: B&A, G&P, D&W and N/B. But we are debuting Samuelson and Bates this year. We got 5 teams but only 3 on the podium will count.
In the Junior Division I will be watching fervently for good skating from:
Alexe Gilles; Kristin Musdademba, Angela Maxwell, , Elie Karamura.
Brandon Mroz; Austin Kannallakan, Adam Rippon, Aman Mahbahnudsadah, Oi.
Paetsch/Nuss. I'm not sure of the others.
Chock/Zuerline; Hubbell/Hubbell;Tibbetts/Brubaker (could this be Rockne's relative?)
There I've got that done for US Nats. No reason to change my emblazoned selections.

The official list can now be found at: http://www.xcelenergycenter.com/saintpaul2008/event/competitors.jsp
Some of the biographies that can't be found at the USFS site can be found at the older Nationals websites:
http://spokane2007.usfigureskating.org/Athletes.aspx
http://stlouis2006.usfigureskating.org/Athletes.aspx
I'm wondering which of the senior ladies may make the World Junior Championships team. Zhang, Nagasu, and Flatt are surely the favorites. Wagner and Hacker have been mentioned as possible spoilers.
Among the junior ladies, I feel that Musademba, Maxwell, Kawamura, and Rizo are the biggest threats for the nationals podium and thus they have longshot chances of making the WJC team.
I'll be watching for Ellie Kawamura, as I recently learned that she is only a few weeks over 14 years and that she overcame some rough SP scoring at the Pacific Coast sectional to win. I may (not sure it was her) have spotted her practicing with Zhang
and Nagasu this Christmas and she did not look too out of place. 
Sadly, I must mention two girls who missed the cut: Cannarozzo and Taylor Firth, who I was excited to see. Taylor was, for some reason, pointed out during the telecasts as the new girl at senior nationals, who's there for the experience and is having pure fun. =/ sad that she got 9th at sectionals after a decently strong 7th at Finlandia.
USFS currently has the most-up-to-date list of entries:

I've noted a recent injury withdrawal & replacement in the Junior Men's event in my "unofficial" list above.

Yes, Collin Brubaker is Rockne's younger brother.

While I follow American Juniors, I do not follow American Novice. seeing competitions live is costly. So skipping the first couple of days, I save some bucks on hotel bill.
I do get to see the winners in the Exhibitions but never see who they won over.

I'm not crazy about Exhibitions. They all look alike to me. I left that morning 2005, as I usually do to avoid extra stays at a hotel. I stayed for 2006 because they put something on in the afternoon as well. St. Paul will be like that.
