2023 CONNECTICUT FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS
In 2015, yours truly began covering Student Sections in Orange County, California. We expanded to Southern California in 2017 and two years ago, we added four more states and added 15 more states. We went to 40 states last fall.
This last winter, we went to all 50 states. No one has ever done that before…until now!
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.
We continue with the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Connecticut.
For a state that is new to our website, we are noticing more and more solid Student Section that it is looking like this state is going to be one of our better states when it comes to school spirit.
Last winter, Notre Dame Green Machine took the title as the best Student Section in Connecticut. There’s a strong chance the Green Machine will be the best this football season. A solid and crazy Student Section that never takes a break.
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 Connecticut, it’s the Ellington Kingdom. This is a small Student Section, but they can hang with the best of them. They can battle for the top spot.
Can the Kingdom be on top in the Constitution State? Let’s find out.

Green Machine is an insane Student Section that goes over the top. While we may not know a whole lot about the Student Sections in this state and we will find some of the best in this state as we get into the football season, but we feel that this is the best of the best in Connecticut.
