  2025 CANADA FALL TOP 25 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGSSeptember 1, 2025

  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 Canada.

  We divided California into two regions, then Texas into two regions, and added Washington DC. What else can we do? Let’s bring in our friends from the North!

  Adding Canada is going to be a fun challenge, but a challenge nevertheless. We hope to discover some Student Sections in Canada, but it won’t be overnight. This may be a project that could take a couple of years, but we’re up to the challenge.

  In each state, or in this case region since were in Canada, 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 Canada, it’s St. Francis. First off, these uniforms are sick. The Student Sections is pretty hyped up and look loud and rowdy. We hope to see more of them in 2025 and perhaps they can be the next big opponent for number one as far as Student Sections go. Hopefully, their Instagram pages promotes their Student Section.

  Will St. Francis be the first Fall Student Section Champion in The Great White North or will we find a new Student Section power in the North? Let’s find out.

  2025 CANADA FALL TOP 25 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Vancouver College Hype

  While we begin discovering Student Sections in Canada, we at least have a big powerhouse Student Section in Vancouver College Hype. This is a super solid Student Section that can battle with the best in the states! They love to show off on Instagram and you can’t blame them. We hope to find some big time Student Sections to battle with the Hype in Canada, but until then, VC Hype is in control of number one.

  We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of Minnesota.

  Minnesota keeps getting better and better when it comes to Student Sections. So many new Student Section we keep discovering who are becoming players for the top spot. It will be interesting to see who will end up at number one.

  Last Football season, we had the Edina as the top Football Student Section in Minnesota. Edina is one of the biggest Student Sections in the state and they are slowly becoming a no brainer every year on here for the top spot. We may see a repeat in 2025.

  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 Minnesota, it’s the Rosemount. Rosemount is a large Student Section that can hang with the best of them. They have a solid social media presence and consistency show off their Student Section. Rosemount will be one of the Student Sections that will battle for the top spot.

  2025 MINNESOTA FALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  Edina is a solid Student Section and one of the bigger ones in the state. If they can continue to show off their Student Section on Instagram and let everyone know that this is a Student Section that can hang with the best of them, then we will see a repeat at number one. Some of the other Student Sections in this state will battle for the top spot, so this will be a fun battle!

  We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of Michigan.

  This state has been pretty even level on school spirit. No one has had the upper hand, so this fall is up for grabs for everyone. Maybe someone will change that and make this an easy choice come November.

  Last Football season, we had the Eisenhower Zoo as the top Football Student Section in Michigan. The Zoo had a unique Instagram page and that’s a good thing. They loved to show off their Student Section on Instagram and if they continue that route, they will have a strong chance in repeating as Student Section Champs.

  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 Michigan, it’s the Henry Ford II Nest. The Nest was somewhat quiet last year. I was expecting more, but I feel I will be hearing a lot from the Nest in 2025 as they move back up in the rankings.

  

  Will the Nest make a return to the top or will the Zoo stay at the top in The Great Lake State? Let’s find out.

  2025 MICHIGAN FALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of Ohio.

  As we get to know and discover more Student Sections over the past few years, we noticed Ohio is getting more and more loaded with Student Section talent. A lot of fantastic Student Sections in this state. It has become one of the best states for rowdy Student Sections. Ohio is for Student Sections, not just lovers…terrible pun, I’m sorry.

  Last Football season, we had the Centerville Herd as the top Football Student Section in Ohio. The Herd went for the repeat and I’m sure they’ll look for the threepeat, but it will take a whole lot of work to stay at the top. Two years ago, it was a no brainer who was the best Student Section in the state. Last year, it was a close one and Herd barely got the top spot. This list is deeper this year, so this will be a big challenge for the Herd to hold on.

  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 Ohio, it’s the Mason Blackhole. The Blackhole has been a solid Student Section, but is always on the outside when it comes for the top spot. There’s a lot of solid Student Sections in this state and perhaps it is time I give the Blackhole the credit it deserves, not just in Ohio, but in the nation. They have a great social media presence, and I feel if this state struggles with lack of Student Section showing on Instagram and the Blackhole stays the course, they will finish on top.

  

  Will the Blackhole be the new top dawg or will the Herd go 3 for 3 in The Buckeye State? Let’s find out.

  2025 OHIO FALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Elder (2024 Rank: 2)

  If Elder social media was as active as the normal Student Section, this would be a no-brainer, but a Student Section not posting on social media is a tree falling when no one is around. It doesn’t make any noise. If they show it off on Instagram, Elder won’t have to worry about being number one in Ohio, they can battle for the Fall National Student Section Title! This is a large Student Section and you know they go nuts in the stands. Elder will have to let us know that they’re still the same crazy group of kids in 2025!

  We continue with the 2025 Fall Student Section Season with a preview of Wisconsin.

  This state has some great Student Sections, but we have yet to find that super power Student Section that above the rest in Wisconsin. A lot of equally great Student Sections here, so it is a fair wide open game in 2025.

  Last Football season, we had the Arrowhead as the top Football Student Section in Wisconsin. Arrowhead has been pretty consistent when it comes to showing off their school spirit. They go all out every year on Instagram and it will take that and maybe more if they want to repeat in 2025.

  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 Wisconsin, it’s Mukwonago. They were on the outside of the Top 10 two seasons ago and moved into the Top 5 last season. If they consistently show off their Student Section on Instagram, they’ll keep moving up and perhaps take the top spot. It’s a wide open game in Wisconsin, so they have a solid chance here.

  Will Mukwonago keep moving up and take the number one slot or will Arrowhead defend their top ranking in The Badger State? Let’s find out.

  2025 WISCONSIN FALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Catholic Memorial (2024 Rank: 9)

  This was one of those Student Sections I wanted to mention to lookout for, but I also felt this is probably going to be the best Student Section in Wisconsin by the end of the Fall Season. This is large Student Section and look like a rowdy and loud crowd. If they work their social media magic and show off their Student Section on Instagram, then they will prevail and be on top in a group of solid Student Sections in Wisconsin.

  The Pit social media was pretty solid, but it takes more than that to become one of Ohio’s best Student Sections this Winter as this is one of the deepest states in the country when it comes to Student Sections! The Pit rocked the vote and took down some powerhouses along the way and made a little run in the National Student Section playoffs!

  2024 IOWA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGSDecember 11, 2024

  The time has come to start ranking 50 states that we covered this football season. 

  To say I’m overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this is a huge huge understatement.

  We had 11 Student Section of the Week winners in Iowa and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which ones wanted it more.

  Just showing up in large crowds isn’t enough. It might fool other outlets that don’t cover Student Sections, but not us. We have to know how bad you want it and marketing is key. 

  You will see top-notch Student Sections miss out at the top spot, but we kept saying it over and over and over again, in order to be considered number one, you have to win the Student Section of the Week title. Otherwise, what is the point of having that contest?!

  I know Student Sections complain but remember it’s thousands of Student Sections and only me. Social media is your friend if used correctly.

  A Student Section that doesn’t post videos or photos of there Student Section on a consistent basis is like a tree falling with no one around. It doesn’t make any noise.

  This is our third year covering Football Student Sections in Iowa. We had Dowling Catholic Maroon Crew winning it in 2022 and 2023.

  Maroon Crew is a fantastic Student Section, but a three-peat is going to be difficult. We can’t wait to see if someone will take the top spot.

  We will have 3 Student Sections in Iowa that will be voting in the Student Section playoffs that will begin soon.

  So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Hawkeye State.

  2024 IOWA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

  RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

  1. Waukee (2023 Rank: NR)

  This Student Section is weird, but that’s the goal for all Student Section. They can also pack the stands and go nuts for their football team. They showed off their Student Section on a consistent basis this fall and got their reward. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the Iowa Football Student Section of the Year!

  1. Ankeny Centennial (2023 Rank: 3)

  This might be one of the larger Student Sections in the state. If they promoted their Student Section on Instagram on a more consistent basis, I think they would’ve taken the top spot. We had a very very hard time looking for photos/videos of this Student Section all season. Regardless, this is still one of the best in the state. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  3. Wahlert (2023 Rank: NR)

  Considered one of the best Student Sections this year by their own Students, they definitely a strong case for it. They not only pack the stands, but they are a crazy and rowdy bunch. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  

  4. Dowling Catholic Maroon Crew (2023 Rank: 1)

  While they couldn’t pull off the threepeat, the Maroon Crew still impressed me as they return to the Top 5. They always pack the stands and have plenty to cheer for.

  We have seen some great Student Section, but we haven’t seen the super power Student Section yet in Wisconsin. It’s fair game for all the Student Sections here!

  We will have 3 Student Sections in Wisconsin that will be voting in the Student Section playoffs that will begin soon.

  So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Badger State.

  2024 WISCONSIN FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

  RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

  1. Arrowhead (2023 Rank: 2)

  Arrowhead Red Out Theme looks pretty dope! They aren’t afraid to hurt your feelings if you aren’t cheering. They want hand on deck and I appreciate how much the Gators want to be the best. Well, they are the best and we’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the Wisconsin Football Student Section of the Year!

  

  2. Kimberly Red Swarm (2023 Rank: 1)

  The Red Swarm rocked the stands and show up ready to go with any theme. White Out, Red Out, Whatever Out, the Red Swarm comes ready to go! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  3. Oak Creek (2023 Rank: 3)

  4. Mukwonago (2023 Rank: 11)

  I feel bad for any opponent in the red zone as they try to get in the endzone or kick a field goal with the Mukwonago Student Section behind the endzone. Ready to rattle, this Student Section steps up for their football team!

  5. Hamilton (2023 Rank: 20)

  2024 MICHIGAN FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGSDecember 10, 2024

  The time has come to start ranking 50 states that we covered this football season. 

  To say I’m overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this is a huge huge understatement.

  We had 11 Student Section of the Week winners in Michigan and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which ones wanted it more.

  Just showing up in large crowds isn’t enough. It might fool other outlets that don’t cover Student Sections, but not us. We have to know how bad you want it and marketing is key. 

  You will see top-notch Student Sections miss out at the top spot, but we kept saying it over and over and over again, in order to be considered number one, you have to win the Student Section of the Week title. Otherwise, what is the point of having that contest?!

  I know Student Sections complain but remember it’s thousands of Student Sections and only me. Social media is your friend if used correctly.

  A Student Section that doesn’t post videos or photos of there Student Section on a consistent basis is like a tree falling with no one around. It doesn’t make any noise.

  This is our third year covering Football Student Sections in Michigan. We had Chippewa Valley Rowdy Red Zone winning it in 2022 and Utica Tribe in 2023.

  We have seen some great Student Section, but we haven’t seen the super power Student Section yet in Michigan. It’s fair game for all the Student Sections here!

  We will have 3 Student Sections in Michigan that will be voting in the Student Section playoffs that will begin soon.

  So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Great Lake State.

  2024 MICHIGAN FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

  RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

  1. Eisenhower Zoo (2023 Rank: 30)

  The Zoo might have the most creative Instagram. They make sure everyone in the Student Section is involved and gets credit for cheering on their football team. They improved their social media game by a lot and that is why they’re getting the top spot this season! Well done to the social media team! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the Michigan Football Student Section of the Year!

  2. Central Catholic Shamrock Nation (2023 Rank: 11)

  Shamrock Nation can rock the stands while also filling it to the brim! They also love to show off their Student Section on Instagram, which caught my eye and left a good impression. This looks like a fun Student Section to watch! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  4. Zeeland East Coop Crazies (2023 Rank: NR)

  Not only is Zeeland East Crazy, but you can tell how much fun they’re having in the stands! Coop Crazies make the big jump to the Top 5! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  2024 MINNESOTA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

  1. Edina (2023 Rank: 3)

  This was a no brainer! Edina has the biggest Student Section in the state and they are a problem for any opponent, especially if they’re going to try and rattle you! This looks like a loud group of kids that love wearing green! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the Minnesota Football Student Section of the Year!

  We didn’t much of Wayzata compared to last season, but from the few times we saw them, it seemed like it was business as usual for Trojan Nation! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  

  4. Minnetonka Blue Crew (2023 Rank: 4)

  The Blue Crew packed the stands as always. This is one of the bigger Student Sections and one of the more consistent ones that post on Instagram. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  This state is loaded with insane and amazing Student Sections. It helps when a TV channel in Indianapolis where the best Student Section in that region gets a banner. That has open the floodgates in regards to school spirit. Hats off to WISH-TV The Zone.

  We will have 5 Student Sections in Indiana that will be voting in the Student Section playoffs that will begin soon.

  So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Hoosier State.

  1. Fishers Tiger Cage (2023 Rank: 3)

  I’ve been waiting for a good time to put Fisher at the top and Thank God that Anthony Calhoun (known as AC) from WISH-TV picked Fishers as The Zone Student Section Champions because it opened the door for me to put the Tigers as the best in Indiana. The Tiger Cage always packs the stand and they have a blast in said stands! Good luck trying to call a play if Fishers is in your way. The Tiger Cage will look to vote in the National Student Section playoffs as they look for the National Championship banner, but for now, they’re the 2024 Indiana Football Student Section of the Year!

  3. Brownsburg Bone Zone (2023 Rank: 13)

  What they lack in size, they make up for rowdiness and craziness…you get what I mean. This Student Section will let you know how much they support their football team even if you don’t want to know. They have an endless amount of noise. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  2024 OHIO FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGSDecember 9, 2024

  The time has come to start ranking 50 states that we covered this football season. 

  To say I’m overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this is a huge huge understatement.

  We had 12 Student Section of the Week winners in Ohio and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which ones wanted it more.

  Just showing up in large crowds isn’t enough. It might fool other outlets that don’t cover Student Sections, but not us. We have to know how bad you want it and marketing is key. 

  You will see top-notch Student Sections miss out at the top spot, but we kept saying it over and over and over again, in order to be considered number one, you have to win the Student Section of the Week title. Otherwise, what is the point of having that contest?!

  I know Student Sections complain but remember it’s thousands of Student Sections and only me. Social media is your friend if used correctly.

  A Student Section that doesn’t post videos or photos of there Student Section on a consistent basis is like a tree falling with no one around. It doesn’t make any noise.

  This is our third year covering Football Student Sections in Ohio. We had St. Edward Madhouse winning it in 2022 and Centerville Herd in 2023.

  This is one of the deeper states when it comes to Student Sections. So many great Student Sections in Ohio.

  We will have 5 Student Sections in Ohio that will be voting in the Student Section playoffs that will begin soon.

  So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Buckeye State.

  2024 OHIO FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

  RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

  1. Centerville Herd (2023 Rank: 1)

  It was a close one, but the Herd is back on top. We didn’t see them as much on social media compared to last year, but it was as consistent as the other Student Sections in Ohio. The Herd packs the stands and the volume of students matches the noise volume as well. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the back-to-back Ohio Football Student Section of the Year!

  https://www.instagram.com/p/DBBqVUaPhyo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

  2. Elder (2023 Rank: NR)

  This is a solid Student Section. One you can’t ignore. If they had a consistent Instagram account that showed off their Student Section, I’m almost positive they would have taken the number one spot, easily. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  

  3. Mason Blackhole (2023 Rank: NR)

  The Blackhole can pack the stands and they look pretty intense. You don’t want to mess with the football team because you’ll have to deal with the Blackhole. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  

  4. Archbishop Hoban Jungle (2023 Rank: 3)

  The Jungle is alive and especially in this shot. Liking the lens shot they went here. They can pack the stands and break in the Top 5. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  https://www.instagram.com/p/DBi-cIQukCq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

  5. St. Xavier Bomb Squad (2023 Rank: NR)

  While they are a smaller Student Section compared to the Top Student Sections in this state, they make up for it with its endless amount of insanity and crazy antics in the stands. Definitely worthy of a Top 5 finish. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon.

  2024 ARKANSAS FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGSSeptember 12, 2024

  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. 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 OC Student Sections, Stadium Geeks, Maryland Student Section Rater, NorCal Student Sections and many more.

  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.

  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 2024 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Arkansas.

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

  Last Football season, we had the Bryant Swarm as the top Football Student Section in Arkansas. The Swarm battled all season last fall for the top spot and snuck in for the top ranking. It will be tough to do this again, so the Swarm will have to double up on showing off their Student Section.

  In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for Arkansas, we have to go with Jonesboro Dawg Pound. The Dawg Pound has been considered a super fantastic Student Section, but they don’t show it off anymore. It’s been a secret and they need to show off their school spirit this fall to get their reward as one of the best Student Sections in Arkansas.

  

  Will the Dawg Pound take the top spot in the state or will the Swarm take another one in the Razorback State? Let’s find out.

  2024 ARKANSAS FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

  1. Bentonville West Den

  The Den has fallen short of the top spot the last two seasons and I have a feeling third time is the charm. The Den has to keep showing off their Student Section on Instagram and find ways to get as amped and crazy as they let everybody know that they are the best Student Section in the state.

  I feel like we haven’t figured this state out yet. They love their football and everyone in America knows it, but we haven’t yet caught all of the Student Sections here in Texas and we hope we can catch that his fall.

  Last Football season, we had the George Ranch Rowdies as the top Football Student Section in Texas. The Rowdies know that it will be tough to repeat in Texas, especially if we discover more Student Sections in this state. On top of that, they finished on top over Allen Eagles Zone. Can they do it again?

  In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for Texas, we have to go with Texas City. They’re off to a solid start this fall and if they keep showing off their school spirit, they will finish with the best of them this fall.

The Jungle is well respected. When we were only covering Southern California, we always heard about how crazy the Jungle was, but we haven’t seen it yet. We hope they can show it off on social media and battle for the top spot.

  

  Will the Jungle take the top spot in the state or will the Dogpound take another one in the Sooner State? Let’s find out.

  2024 MISSOURI FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGSAugust 29, 2024

  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. 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 OC Student Sections, Stadium Geeks, Maryland Student Section Rater, NorCal Student Sections and many more.

  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.

  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 2024 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Missouri.

  We are noticing more and more Student Sections in Missouri, but it is not enough and we hope we see more Student Sections in this state this fall.

  Last Football season, we had the Staley Nest as the top Football Student Section in Missouri. The Nest cruised last season to take the top spot. They showed off their school spirit every week on Instagram, but we know they have some Student Sections ready for the challenge.

  In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for Missouri, we have to go with the Central Dawgpound. This Student Section is getting more and more involved and have mentioned it several times that they want the top spot badly. I am feeling that vibe and hopefully can prove that they should be considered one of the best.

  

  Will the Dawgpound take the top spot in the state or will the Nest makes this another easy one in the Show Me State? Let’s find out.

  The Nest have one of the strongest social media presences in the state. They show off their school spirit every week and it will take a lot to dethrone them. I could have gone with a different Student Section, but to be the Man, you got to beat the Man and buddy, the Staley Nest are the man!
