2025 IDAHO FALL TOP 30 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

Off front, Northwest, 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 Idaho.

This state has some pretty good Student Sections. The rankings used to be top heavy, but we discovered a Student Section last year and I feel we may have found a Student Section power in this state, but we have some solid Student Section that will make a strong case for the top spot.

Last Football season, we had the Rocky Mountain Grizz Nation as the top Football Student Section in Idaho. Grizz Nation promoted their Student Section on social media better than anyone else last season in this state. Rinse and repeat in 2025 if Grizz Nation wants 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 Idaho, it’s Boise. This Student Section jump up the rankings big time and they look like an entertaining Student Section. If they show off their Student Section consistently on Instagram, they’ll continue to move up and perhaps take the top spot. It worked for the defending state champs!

Will Boise make a return to the top or will Grizz Nation defend their top ranking in The Gem State? Let’s find out.
