2022 KENTUCKY FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

Off Previews, 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 nine states as well as a Watch List for three states. We now head to Kentucky!

We are a second fiddle when it comes to Student Sections in Kentucky thanks to powerhouse Student Section Twitter page (@BestKYSections). They do amazing work and it has been huge as far as getting Student Sections in that state recognized on a National level.

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 Kentucky, it’s the McCracken Stang Gang of Paducah. The Stang Gang has interacted with us so well every football season that we know how crazy they go at it in the stands! It’s a fun group to talk to and it’s more fun seeing them rock it in the stands and on social media.

Will the Stang Gang pick up where they left off? Let’s find out!
