  • 2023 ARKANSAS FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    In 2015, yours truly began covering Student Sections in Orange County, California. We expanded to Southern California in 2017 and two years ago, we added four more states and added 15 more states. We went to 40 states last fall.

    This last winter, we went to all 50 states. No one has ever done that before…until now!

    This is still a one-man operation for the most part.

    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 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Arkansas.

    I always thought this state was a two-headed monster when it came to Student Sections, but we are slowly seeing other Student Sections that will look to battle for the top spot. This could be the season where someone crashes the party. I’ve enjoyed some of these Student Sections.

    Last season, the Bryant Swarm took the title as the best Student Section in Arkansas. The Swarm will look to defend their title, but there’s a couple solid Student Sections that will battle to dethrone Bryant and take the 2023 title.

    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, it’s North Little Rock. We rarely saw North Little Rock, but we noticed them last week and we have a feeling we’re going to see a lot more of them this fall.

    Can North Little Rock be on top in the Natural State? Let’s find out.

    2023 ARKANSAS FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    1. Bryant Swarm

    This will be a tough one for the Swarm as they look to repeat. Not only will they battle with Bentonville West, but a solid four or five Student Sections will battle for the top spot. The Swarm will be ready to go nuts to go back-to-back.

  • 2022 WISCONSIN TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

    We continue our Final Rankings in the 41 states we covered this football season. 

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

    We had Student Section of the Week for over 10 weeks and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which one 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 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.

    Wisconsin is one of the toughest state to figure out as far as getting the rankings as accurately as possible. We feel we got some of the best on here. I’m sure we’ll get other Student Sections on this list next season!

    So many great Student Sections in this state. Let’s take a look at our Top 40 and name our state champ!

    We continue our Final Rankings in the 41 states we covered this football season. 

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

    We had Student Section of the Week for over 10 weeks and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which one 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 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.

    North Dakota is a tough one to figure out, but the top spot was a battle with three very strong choices.

    So many great Student Sections in this state. Let’s take a look at our Top 40 and name our state champ!

    Indiana has some insane Student Sections that makes ranking the top Student Section difficult. The top half of Indiana can battle for a National Ranking! Thankfully we had someone helping us in Indiana. Let’s just say our preseason pick stuck, but it was close…very close.

    So many great Student Sections in this state. Let’s take a look at our Top 40 and name our state champ!

    2022 INDIANA TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

    1. Cathedral Irish Nightmare 

    This Student Section is insane! The themes, chants, the craziness, this is definitely a Nightmare for opposing teams. We consistently saw the hype thanks to Jade Zhao Photography (@00a86b.photography in Instagram).

    The photos sold me as the Cathedral Nightmare is the Indiana Football Student Section of the Year!

    2. Hamilton Southeastern Blue Crew

    Blue Crew was right there for the top spot. They pack the stands and go wild. The stands fill with Blue and White and it comes with other themes. Regardless of the theme, they’re a crazy bunch.

    3. Franklin Blue Crew

    They might be called the Blue Crew, but the sea of White is amazing! The Blue Crew battled for the top spot all year!

    4. Avon Oriole Army

    The Oriole Army got off to a great start and stayed the course! Definitely a Student Section that will get a National Ranking! Like an Army, Avon comes in full force!

    Tiger Cage won the first Indiana Student Section of the Week and didn’t miss a beat afterward. Amazing Student Section!

  • 2021-22 OKLAHOMA BASKETBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 25 RANKINGS

    2021-22 OKLAHOMA BASKETBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 25 RANKINGS

    1. BROKEN ARROW JUNGLE

    The state of Oklahoma has some fantastic student sections, but the Broken Arrow Jungle is in a group of its own. A solid student section with fantastic social media work. While the Top 25 was tough to rank in our first year in Oklahoma, the top dawg is a no-brainer, Broken Arrow is Oklahoma’s best in basketball student sections!

    1. EDMOND MEMORIAL DOG POUND

    The Dog Pound shows up big to every game. You better bring earplugs when you run into Edmond Memorial because the Dog Pound is a problem.

    1. DUNCAN

    Duncan’s team name is the Demons, which makes sense because they’re not angels with the opposing team. This student section can be a nightmare for others.

    1. NEWCASTLE

    The Newcastle student section is great, but more importantly, very unique and weird and I like weird!

    1. EDMOND SANTA FE WOLFPACK 

    The Wolfpack shows up big and can hang with the best in Oklahoma. This isn’t a pack you want to mess with.

    1. CROSSINGS CHRISTIAN MOB OF OKLAHOMA CITY

    Crossings Christian can be crazy and loud. The themes that they rock are fantastic. What a great student section.

    1. BISHOP MCGUINNESS OF OKLAHOMA CITY

    This is a solid student section and loves to rock the green and white. You can tell that they have their classmates back from the stands. 

    1. MARLOW BLUE CREW

    The Blue Crew is a fantastic student section on the side of the gym. I feel they’re much better during football season, but you can’t discount the basketball side. Solid student section.

    1. DEER CREEK OF EDMOND

    The size of the Deer Creek student section is amazing. You can assume they bring in a very loud group inside the gym. 

    1. OKLAHOMA CHRISTIAN KINGDOM OF EDMOND

    The Kingdom might be smaller compared to the rest, but they can bring it in the stands and you can’t ignore that!

    STUDENT SECTIONS RANKED 11-25
