2024 ALABAMA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

The time has come to start ranking 50 states that we covered this football season. 

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

We had 11 Student Section of the Week winners in Alabama and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which ones 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 it 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.

A Student Section that doesn’t post videos or photos of there Student Section on a consistent basis is like a tree falling with no one around. It doesn’t make any noise.

This is our third year covering Football Student Sections in Alabama. We had Auburn Unit win it in 2022 and in 2023.

A lot of fantastic Student Sections in this state. This year was a tough one with mother nature in the way, but we still saw some Student Sections. They talked the talk and walked the walk.

We will have 4 Student Sections in Alabama that will be voting in the Student Section playoffs that will begin soon.

So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Yellowhammer State.

2024 ALABAMA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

1. Hoover Boneyard (2023 Rank: 2)

When we posted out mid-season Student Section Report, we didn’t give the Boneyard much praise and they let us know. We simply told them that they haven’t promoted their Student Section videos or photos. They took responsibility and began showing off their school spirit. It paid off because they sold me on how fantastic their Student Section was this season! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the 2024 Alabama Football Student Section of the Year!

2. Auburn Unit (2023 Rank: 1)

It is a tough task to attempt to go for a threepeat, but nevertheless, the Unit packed the stands and went nuts per usual. Auburn has been so consistent with showing off their Student Section on Instagram. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

3. Hewitt-Trussville Dogpound (2023 Rank: 4)

The Dogpound was lit this fall. They showed up and showed off on social media. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

4. Thompson War Zone (2023 Rank: 3)

The War Zone is a crazy group of kids that goes all out. Seems to be a tradition when you’re in the War Zone. Also helps when you have one of the best football programs in the state. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

5. Dothan Wolfpack (2023 Rank: 6)

The Wolfpack always packs the stands and have been consistent on Instagram when it comes to showing off their Student Section.
