2024 FLORIDA FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS
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 Florida.
Florida has some dawgs when it comes to Student Sections. I’d say a solid 10 of these Student Sections can hang with the best of them and I can expect a few more Student Sections emerging as we discover each other this Fall!
Last Football season, we had Apopka Nest as the top Football Student Section in Florida. It is going to take a lot to take over the Nest. They have an amazing Student Section and they know how to market themselves. The Nest battled for the Football Student Section National Championship last season and I can see them taking a step back, but I’m sure some Florida Student Sections will battle and have a big say 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 we have to go with Wolfson Pack . The Pack discovered us and we discovered them last fall and they were impressive. I think the Pack will make some noise and move up in the rankings this fall.
Will The Pack have what it takes to take control in the Sunshine State or will the Nest stay on top? Let’s find out.
2024 FLORIDA FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS
- Apopka Nest
The Nest has a lot to do to defend its state title as the Florida Football Student Section Champions. The Nest have a social media game that is hungry to prove that are the best and I don’t think it will skip a beat this fall. It will be tough with seven really solid Student Sections that have a shot at the top spot, but the Nest will be ready to make a say for number one.
