KC is the only redeeming thing about either state. Meh, I guess the Ozarks are kind of nice, too, but KC doesn’t make up for the rest of both states.

North Carolina vs Vermont : Tough one, but Vermont is a gem of a state.

Connecticut vs Georgia : Love CT, but Georgia offers more.

Virginia vs Washington : Both beautiful states, but Seattle tips in favor of Washington.

Florida vs Tennessee : Florida is a pretty state, but the populous makes it an armpit.

Hawaii vs Montana : No offense to Montana, but Hawaii is amazing.

Michigan vs Wisconsin : Similar states, but Michigan offers more.

Minnesota vs South Carolina : Don't know much about either.

New Jersey vs New York : No contest.

Iowa vs Utah : Stunning natural beauty

Louisiana vs Oregon : Don't feel strongly about either.

Maine vs Texas : Texas is massive, but Maine is one of my favorite states.

Arizona vs Ohio : Prettier scenery.

Alaska vs Pennsylvania : More history, better cities, both are naturally beautiful.

California vs Rhode Island : Poor Rhode Island, lol.

Colorado vs New Mexico : Prettier and Denver.

Illinois vs Massachusetts : Love Chicago and the lake, but MA is a more beautiful historic state.

I see that I've been summoned.

North Carolina vs Vermont - while VT is nice it lacks coastline. North Carolina has so much - the Outer Banks, Smoky Mountains, and Charlotte/ other big cities.

Connecticut vs Georgia - The crown jewel of the country. There's simply no other way of putting it. Right in the middle of the northeast megalopolis, yet quiet and scenic. Beaches. Small towns, country greens. A bunch of small cities too, each with their own personalities and histories making them feel worlds apart despite being right next door. My beloved Fairfield alone is a top 10 state contender, let me show you:

Everyone from the CT thread knew this was coming. We used to argue about Fairfield vs Madison vs New Haven. Now, we stand united. CT ROCKS!

Virginia vs Washington - Just spectacular scenery.

Florida vs Tennessee - Coastal

Hawaii vs Montana - tougher than one would think, but yea I gotta give it to the islands

Michigan vs Wisconsin - More lakes (not that Wisco has a shortage)

Minnesota vs South Carolina - I'm counting the great lakes as coastal for this tournament

New Jersey vs New York - has everything NJ has and more

Iowa vs Utah - WAY more scenic

Louisiana vs Oregon - I really want to take a trip to the PNW soon

Maine vs Texas - New England all the way!!

Arizona vs Ohio - Yea. Not close.

Alaska vs Pennsylvania - Alaska is something special. PA... not so much. While PA is a crossroads of other states, and that can be cool, I could just go to those other states. There's nothing like AK.

California vs Rhode Island - I hate to "betray" my neighbors but how could I possibly vote against CA in this case?

Colorado vs New Mexico - Very similar states, but CO has slightly more variety.

Illinois vs Massachusetts - I'll take the smartest state in the country.

LOVE This!!! I remember back in the CT Tournament, we were all arguing about our favorite towns within the state and the rivalries that you mentioned, but now we all come together united to support our state in the tournament with all the States!!! Let's Go Connecticut!!! Hopefully we can get CT across the finish line!

Connecticut vs Georgia

Iowa vs Utah - Amazing state

Louisiana vs Oregon - For New Orleans

Maine vs Texas - Current state, plus Texas is like hell

North Carolina vs Vermont

Even though it breaks my rule about warmth being most important criteria, have to pick Vermont because it is simply one of the most rural and beautiful states I have visited.

Connecticut vs Georgia

Virginia vs Washington

Florida vs Tennessee

Hawaii vs Montana

Michigan vs Wisconsin Not a good matchup here. Too similar and too cold. Wisconsin only because further west.

Minnesota vs South Carolina

New Jersey vs New York

Iowa vs Utah

Louisiana vs Oregon

Maine vs Texas

Arizona vs Ohio

Alaska vs Pennsylvania Cannot vote on tihs one as I have never visited Alaska. I wouldn't vote on one state over another unless I did.

California vs Rhode Island

Colorado vs New Mexico

Illinois vs Massachusetts
