2025 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

Off front, Previews, Southwest, Student Section Buzz,

We continue our Final Rankings in all of the 50 states we covered this football season. 

To say I’m overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this is an understatement.

We had Student Section of the Week for over 10 weeks and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which one wanted it more.

Just showing up in large crowds isn’t enough. It might fool other outlets that don’t cover Student Sections, but not us. We have to know how bad you want and marketing is key. 

You will see top-notch Student Sections miss out at the top spot, but we kept saying it over and over and over again, in order to be considered number one, you have to win the Student Section of the Week title. Otherwise, what is the point of having that contest?!

I know Student Sections complain, but remember it’s thousands of Student Sections and only me. Social media is your friend if used correctly.

When we started covering Student Sections in 2015, it began with only Orange County, California. We expanded in 2016 to Southern California before expanding to other states last year.

We had Murrieta Mesa Beast taking the SoCal title in 2016, Vista Murrieta Bronco Bleacher Creatures in 2017, Rancho Cucamonga Rooters in 2018, Los Alamitos Locos in 2019, Murrieta Valley Red Zone in 2021, Carlsbad Loud Crowd in 2022, Chapparral Puma Pit in 2023 and the Great Oak Red Wave in 2024.

Southern California is the headquarters of the Student Section Report and this region means the world to me.

This group is so deep that we have honorable mentions that would battle for a state title elsewhere. A very deep region!

Let’s check out the Top 40 Football Student Section Rankings in the Golden State!

2025 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Chaparral Puma Pit (2024 Rank: 12)

2025 NATIONAL FALL STUDENT SECTION CHAMPIONS!!!

The Puma Pit is back on top! After taking the National Title in 2023, the Puma Pit took a step back, but they came back in a big way in 2025! It is not easy to take the lead in SoCal when you have some solid Student Sections in or around your hometown. Interstate 15 has some crazy and solid Student Sections, but this year was Chaparral year to take over! They also took over the voting and no one could stop them!

The stands were electric this fall. Packed stands that went wild and it impressed several visiting fans, including some from other states when they came to visit to play the Pumas. It definitely impressed many fans on social media.

This is starting to look like a dynasty as the Chaparral Puma Pit is your 2025 Southern California Fall Student Section Champions and they’re your 2025 National Fall Student Section Champions! Two in three years!
