2024 MISSISSIPPI FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

Off front, Previews, Southern, Student Section Buzz,

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 Mississippi 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 Georgia. We had Oxford O-Zone win it in 2022 and Starkville Nest in 2023.

Mississippi has been a huge challenge for us when it comes to discovering Student Sections and 2024 was no different. Some Student Sections say they’re the best, but they never prove it on social media, which means the verdict is, inconclusive.

We will have 3 Student Sections in Mississippi 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 Magnolia State.

2024 MISSISSIPPI FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

  1. Oxford O-Zone (2023 Rank: 8)

After falling out of the Top 5, the Oxford O-Zone is back at the top! This Student Section can be a bit messy with all that powder, but it’s worth it! They have been consistent over the last couple of years and they did want us to know they’re the best in the state. We’re sold! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the 2024 Mississippi Football Student Section of the Year!

  1. Brookhaven Red Nation (2023 Rank: 19)

When it comes to promoting your Student Section on Instagram or any other social media platform, this is by far the most consistent Student Section I have ever seen from Mississippi, hands down. They’re promotion of school spirit is why they’re at the top of the rankings this year. Other Student Sections will throw a fit, but I’ll just ask, Do you have the proof that Brookhaven had? Because they wanted it wayyy more than you! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  1. Ocean Springs Hound Pound (2023 Rank: 9)

Hound Pound looked electric! They can pack the stands and cause a problem for any opponent that stands in their football teams way. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  1. Tupelo (2023 Rank: 3)

Led by the Tupelo Boys, this Student Section can hang with the best of them and it is the reason why they once again return to the Top 5.

  1. Saltillo Tigers Den (2023 Rank: 31)
