2025 UTAH FALL 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 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 Utah.

Utah doesn’t get enough credit when it comes to how deep this state is with super solid Student Sections in the Top 40. The Top 15 or 20 can hang with the best states out there. Crazy and solid Student Sections. One of the best states for school spirit.

Last Football season, we had Syracuse Curse as the top Football Student Section in Utah. The Curse kept mentioning that they are the top dawgs in the Student Section scene in Utah and they proved it. It had to take a lot of proving in this loaded state and it will take a whole lot more if they want to repeat.

In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that while they aren’t ranked super high or weren’t ranked high last year, they’re a Student Section to lookout for and for Utah, it’s Lone Peak. Lone Peak was not happy with their ranking last year and they have had a solid case. For certain reasons, we are not on TikTok, but Lone Peak Student Section has a solid TikTok and if they can replicate that on Instagram, we can definitely see Lone Peak at the top in 2025 in Utah and possibly the nation!

Will Lone Peak take the challenge in the deep Beehive State or will another powerhouse Student Section take it? Let’s find out.

2025 UTAH FALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Lone Peak Uknighted (2024 Rank: 11)

I gotta be honest, I think Lone Peak is going to take this pretty easy and that itself isn’t an easy thing to say. As mentioned, Utah is super-duper deep in Student Sections. Several powerhouses in this state, so it is a tough task to take the top spot, but Lone Peak is insane in the stands. The themes, and the energy looked unmatched, and I hope their social media game on Instagram doesn’t disappear nor this kind of energy and if it doesn’t, Lone Peak should aim higher because this has National Fall Student Section Championship written all over it!
