2022 FLORIDA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

Off Previews, Southern, Student Section Buzz,

In 2015, yours truly began covering Student Sections in Orange County, California. We expanded to Southern California in 2017 and last year, we added four more states. This past winter, we expanded to 19 states. 

Now, we are going to 40 states. This is still a one-man operation for the most part.

I know that Student Sections have a lot of work to do to get the students to the games to cheer on their classmates and go along with the theme and make sure they don’t cause trouble. These student sections deserve recognition.

We will kick off the Student Section season with Preseason Football Student Section Rankings. REMEMBER, this is a PREVIEW. It is merely a prediction. The real rankings come out in November or December. 

If you feel your student section isn’t ranked high enough or not ranked at all, let us know and we’ll keep a close eye on them.

Every week, we will also have Student Section of the Week for each state. Once you win Student Section of the Week, you can’t win it again, but you still have to battle for the top spot in your state and perhaps the Nation as we will also name a Football Student Section National Champion. 

So far we have previewed the Top 40 Preseason Football Student Section Rankings in seven states as well as a Watch List for two states. We now head to Florida!

Florida was difficult to figure out when we added them in the winter, but did discover some great Student Sections and we look to discover more this fall.

In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for Florida, it’s the Dr. Phillips Blue Zoo of Orlando. Blue Zoo has been consistent recently as far as notifying their Student Section to be ready. I can sense that they’ll be rocking the stadiums this football season!

Will the Blue Zoo be ready to take the top spot? Let’s find out!

2022 FLORIDA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. St. Thomas Aquinas Rowdy Raiders of Fort Lauderdale 

The Rowdy Raiders have plenty to cheer about. St. Thomas Aquinas has one of the top football programs in the nation every year. I can sense they have a mix of the St. John Bosco Tribe or Servite Asylum in them, two fantastic Student Sections with solid football programs in California. If that’s the case, then Rowdy Raiders could end at number 1 by seasons end.
