2024 ARKANSAS FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

Off Central, front, Previews, Student Section Buzz,

In 2015, yours truly began covering Student Sections in Orange County, California. We expanded to Southern California in 2017 and in 2021, we added four more states and added 15 more states. We went to 40 states two years ago.

We went to all 50 states in winter of 2023. No one has ever done that before…until now!

This is still a one-man operation for the most part, but we have some help with some partners on Instagram like OC Student Sections, Stadium Geeks, Maryland Student Section Rater, NorCal Student Sections and many more.

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 2024 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Arkansas.

For awhile, we had a hard time figuring out this state, but we have discovered some solid Student Sections. This has been a two Student Section race for the top spot and we hope that this fall is going to be very interesting as we see several Student Sections battle for the top spot.

Last Football season, we had the Bryant Swarm as the top Football Student Section in Arkansas. The Swarm battled all season last fall for the top spot and snuck in for the top ranking. It will be tough to do this again, so the Swarm will have to double up on showing off their Student Section.

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 Arkansas, we have to go with Jonesboro Dawg Pound. The Dawg Pound has been considered a super fantastic Student Section, but they don’t show it off anymore. It’s been a secret and they need to show off their school spirit this fall to get their reward as one of the best Student Sections in Arkansas.

Will the Dawg Pound take the top spot in the state or will the Swarm take another one in the Razorback State? Let’s find out.

2024 ARKANSAS FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Bentonville West Den

The Den has fallen short of the top spot the last two seasons and I have a feeling third time is the charm. The Den has to keep showing off their Student Section on Instagram and find ways to get as amped and crazy as they let everybody know that they are the best Student Section in the state.
