2025 HAWAII FALL TOP 15 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

Off front, Previews, Southwest, 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 and now we add our friends from the North in Canada on top of dividing Texas into two regions, similar to what we did with California. 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 good friends at OC Student Sections and Stadium Geeks with help from Maryland Student Section Rater, NorCal Student Sections and many more.

This year we plan to get several “barstool” pages that showcase Student Sections in their states. Some of those pages were very helpful last year as we get more accurate with our rankings.

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.

This past season, we several more Student Sections, including some big powerhouse ones that not only will be a top dawg in their state, but will be a big player in the National side!

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 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of Hawaii.

This is a tough state to figure out, but we found some players in the Student Section scene in Hawaii that might shake up the top spot in this state that has been controlled by one Student Section. We hope to see more Student Sections in Hawaii on Instagram and we hope to see a new top dawg this fall.

Last Football season, we had Kahuku Code Red as the top Football Student Section in Hawaii. Code Red has been a dominant Student Section in the winter and mainly the fall, but will this be the year someone takes them out of the top spot? If a Student Section has any interaction or more consistency posting on social media, we may have a new state champ here.

In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that while they aren’t ranked super high, they’re a Student Section to lookout for and for Hawaii, it’s Kaiser. If we see more of this Student Section in the fall on Instagram and perhaps some interaction with us stating they want to be number one, then we will have a new state champ. It will take a lot of work to take over Code Red, but I feel Kaiser has the best chance at it.

Will Kaiser prevent a Kahuku Code Red threepeat in The Aloha State? Let’s find out.

2025 HAWAII FALL TOP 15 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Kahuku Code Red (2024 Rank: 1)

I believe it was the Nature Boy Ric Flair that said it best, to be the Man, you gotta beat the Man, and I’m saying, I’m the Man.” That’s what Code Red has been in the Hawaii Student Section scene, but someone can easily take them if they can just show off their school spirit on a consistent basis and it can be done, but until then, this is Kahuku territory and they’ll be looking for that threepeat!
