2024 OHIO FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

Off front, Northern, Previews, 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 12 Student Section of the Week winners in Ohio 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 Ohio. We had St. Edward Madhouse winning it in 2022 and Centerville Herd in 2023.

This is one of the deeper states when it comes to Student Sections. So many great Student Sections in Ohio.

We will have 5 Student Sections in Ohio 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 Buckeye State.

2024 OHIO FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

  1. Centerville Herd (2023 Rank: 1)

It was a close one, but the Herd is back on top. We didn’t see them as much on social media compared to last year, but it was as consistent as the other Student Sections in Ohio. The Herd packs the stands and the volume of students matches the noise volume as well. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the back-to-back Ohio Football Student Section of the Year!

  1. Elder (2023 Rank: NR)

This is a solid Student Section. One you can’t ignore. If they had a consistent Instagram account that showed off their Student Section, I’m almost positive they would have taken the number one spot, easily. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  1. Mason Blackhole (2023 Rank: NR)

The Blackhole can pack the stands and they look pretty intense. You don’t want to mess with the football team because you’ll have to deal with the Blackhole. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  1. Archbishop Hoban Jungle (2023 Rank: 3)

The Jungle is alive and especially in this shot. Liking the lens shot they went here. They can pack the stands and break in the Top 5. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  1. St. Xavier Bomb Squad (2023 Rank: NR)

While they are a smaller Student Section compared to the Top Student Sections in this state, they make up for it with its endless amount of insanity and crazy antics in the stands. Definitely worthy of a Top 5 finish. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.
