  • 2023 MONTANA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 20 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 Montana.

    This state is still a mystery to me when it comes to Student Sections. We hope to see more from this state this fall.

    Last season, Billings Central Catholic took the title as the best Student Section in Montana. It will take a lot for Billings Central Catholic to repeat, especially if we discover more Student Sections.

    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 Montana, it’s Big Fork. We didn’t see much of them last season, but if they start showing up more and more this fall, they may battle for the top spot in Montana.

    Can Big Fork be on top in the Big Sky Country State? Let’s find out.

    2023 MONTANA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 20 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    1. Hamilton

    One of the very few we are seeing in this state that are showing their Student Section on social media. More will be revealed, but until then, this is the best Student Section in Montana.

    1. Big Fork
    2. Billings Central Catholic
    3. Billings West
    4. Laurel Locos
    5. Florence-Carlton

    We continue with the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Idaho.

    I felt like I didn’t know much about Idaho, but there’s some great Student Sections out there where it is a tough task to decided who is the best because they’re all very evenly matched.

    Last season, Owyhee took the title as the best Student Section in Idaho. This wasn’t a runaway as there’s 5-7 Student Sections in this state that are pretty equal, but Owyhee made a strong impression towards the end that gave them the state title. If they can’t do the same, they may go back-to-back.

    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 Idaho, it’s Borah Rowdies. We are starting to notice more and more of the Rowdies on Instagram and if we see consistency from them, we may have a new state champ!

    Can the Rowdies be on top in the Gem State? Let’s find out.

    2023 IDAHO FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 30 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    1. Weiser

    Weiser battled for the top spot last season and we have already seen them on Instagram. In a state that has solid Student Sections where you can’t find one that stands above the rest, it will take a lot to stand on top. It’s a battle and Weiser will be ready.

    1. Nampa Dog House
    2. Owyhee
    3. Borah Rowdies
    4. Eagle Stang Gang
    5. Homedale
    6. Rocky Mountain

  • 2023 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    We continue with the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Northern California.

    NorCal is the reason why we expanded outside of Southern California thanks to the Turlock Dogpound. There’s alot of great school spirit in upper California. There is also some schools that don’t get as much love as other NorCal Student Section and our goal is to give them the love they deserve.

    Last Football season, we had Del Oro Blackhole as the top Football Student Section in NorCal. The Blackhole repeated as NorCal Football Student Section Champions, but can they go for the three-peat? It will be toiugh with Student Sections like the Folsom Dog Pack and Vista del Lago Blue Crew, but Blackhole will battle as always.

    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 NorCal, it’s the Laguna Creek Cardinal Crew. The Cardinal Crew is a solid squad. They love to show off their school spirit on Instagram and they can pack the house full of crazy school spirited kids. This is a big sleeper pick and I expect the Cardinal Crew to make a move up in the rankings.


    Will the Cardinal Crew be the school that dethrones Del Oro? Let’s find out.

    2023 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    1. Vista del Lago Blue Crew

    This is anyone game in NorCal, but I feel if someone is going to take down Del Oro and the Blackhole, it can be the Blue Crew of Vista del Lago. Solid Student Section with a consistent social media.

    1. Folsom Dog Pack
    2. Del Oro Blackhole
    3. Granite Bay Den

    We begin the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Alaska.

    It is going to be very tough to figure out Alaska as we don’t know just how committed they are to going outside for a game, but they have to be used to it. We also don’t see much of them on social media. We hope we get more of Alaska on social media.

    Last Football season, we had Juneau Douglas/Thunder Mountain as the top Football Student Section in Alaska. Can they repeat as top dawg in Alaska?

    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 Alaska, it’s the Soldonta. Soldonta social media is the most consistent in the state and if they can just show off their student section every now and then, then the top student section title will be theirs in Alaska.

    Can Soldotna pull it off? Let’s find out.

    2023 ALASKA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 20 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    1. Soldotna

    One of the few Student Sections that shows itself to the social media world. They want to show their school spirit. This is a solid Student Section if they show consistency. If they show off the rowdy Student Section, than my prediction will be right.
