2024 KANSAS FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

Off front, Previews, Rocky Mountain, 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 Kansas.

For awhile, we had a hard time figuring out this state, but we have discovered some solid Student Sections. 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 Kapaun Mt. Carmel Boneyard as the top Football Student Section in Kansas. The Boneyard were savages last year and they were not afraid to show off their Student Section. They ran away with the competition last year and it could be the same result in 2024.

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 Kansas, we have to go with Blue Valley Northwest Dawgpound. They’re off to a solid start this fall and if they keep showing off their school spirit, they will finish with the best of them this fall.

Will the Dawgpound take the top spot in the state or will the Boneyard take another one in the Sunflower State? Let’s find out.

2024 KANSAS FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Kapaun Mt. Carmel Boneyard

The Boneyard took out the competition last fall. It was a one-man show and we are expecting the same thing this fall. We have already noticed some Student Sections come up in Kansas, so there’s a possible chance where the Boneyard can be dethroned. Boneyard has to protect their house and their title!
