2025 NORTH CAROLINA FALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

Off East Coast, front, Previews, 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 North Carolina.

We discovered some powerhouse Student Sections last year in North Carolina. It has now become a much bigger battle to break in the Top 5 or Top 10 in this state. One of the more improved states and one of the better ones in the nation when it comes to Student Sections.

Last Football season, we had the Myers Park Stable as the top Football Student Section in North Carolina. The Stable has always been at the top of the rankings. They have been consistent, but it will take a whole lot more to prove us that they still belong at the top, especially with the discovery of some big time Student Sections in the state.

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 North Carolina, it’s Reagan Rage. The Rage was one of those Student Sections we discovered and they can hang with the best of them in the state. I expect them to move up and battle for the top spot.

Will the Rage keep moving up the rankings or will the Stable defend their top ranking in The Tar Heel State? Let’s find out.

2025 NORTH CAROLINA FALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Myers Park Stable (2024 Rank: 1)

This will be a tough task for the Stable as they try to repeat as Student Section in the state. We discovered some powerhouse Student Sections, but we know how much the Stable wants to be at the top, so whatever challenge they will face, they’ll be ready. The Stable knows that they’ll have to promote their Student Section on Instagram on a much more consistent basis. I’m confident they’ll pull that off.
