First, thank you Josh for adding a National Forum to your site! I read much of your posts online and also sadly enjoy seeing your annual moving van list of 100+ HC changes in FL (the sad part of course is the # of changes being 100+ annually).
I look forward to posting in the FL forum and if this national forum gets into the groove, same here.
From another site we created 3 national polls, among some individual entries.
Each boldfaced below... I'll have to review one of these nights to see if there's much of any difference between the 3 polls actually.

The 3rd national poll was an idea of getting the power states in a ranking order first from regional fans and then working from there.
Dirty Thirty - Another site's forum members ranked the power states, tabulated and then Final rankings determined by various factors such as 4x100 speed and spelling bee contest... and if needed, a tiebreaker was decided by which QB hit more decibels yelling Omaha.
