2025 DELAWARE FALL TOP 20 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 Delaware.

For awhile, we had a hard time figuring out this state, but we have discovered some solid Student Sections. This fall is going to be very interesting as we see several Student Sections battle for the top spot.

Last year, we felt we figured out this state after discovering some more Student Section, but we had some more Student Section go quiet on social media. We hope they return and we find more Student Section on top of that. This will be a fun challenge.

Last Football season, we had the Salesianum as the top Football Student Section in Delaware. Salesianum repeated as Delaware Football Student Section Champions and I don’t think that will change. If they improve on showing off their Student Section on Instagram, then this will be a threepeat!

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 Delaware, it’s Appoquinimink. Remember when I said we had some Student Sections disappear last year? This was one of them, which was sad because they looked like a solid Student Section. If they return to showing off their Student Section on Instagram, then they could contend for the top spot.

Will Appoquinimink makes it way back up at the top or will Salesianum go for three-in-a-row in the First State? Let’s find out.

2025 DELAWARE FALL TOP 20 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Salesianum (2024 Rank: 1)

In order to be the man, you gotta beat the man and it seems no one has beaten the man in awhile now. Back-to-back Student Section State Champions in both the Fall and Winter Rankings. This is a Student Section by itself at the top. Salesianum will have to keep showing off their Student Section on Instagram in order to remain on top because if they take a day off on social media and another Delaware Student Section does what Salesianum has been doing in the past, then we’ll finally have a new champ in Delaware. I don’t see that happening, but it is possible for someone to take down Salesianum.
