State Rankings

The Cali thread gave me an idea. What if we made a list of best states for running, not just decided on the very best.

The first schools to be considered would probably be California, New York, Texas, Oregon, and Florida.

california all the way

i think PA is the first good state
the rest you mentioned being great

That would make it as follows:

1. California
2. New York
3. Texas
4. Florida
5. Oregon
6. Pennsylvania

Obviously some editing to be done, as well as states to be added. I think the next class would include Ohio, Illinois, and several more eastern states.

And Oregon might be slightly high up.

NY ain't that great. i'd put florida or maybe texas ahead.

If we scored this on points (1st place = 20, 20th = 1), it would look like this:
71 California
54 New York
37 Texas
34 Washington
34 New Mexico
26 South Dakota
20 Pennsylvania
18 Virginia
17 New Jersey
15 Illinois
14 Indiana
13 Missouri
13 Maryland
10 Ohio
9 Delaware
8 Arizona
7 Montana
6 Alaska
5 Minnesota
3 Connecticut
2 Wyoming
2 Iowa
1 North Carolina
1 Mississippi

Obviously the shocker there is no Florida or Oregon. Now if we take out states that only scored with one school (which I believe is a more accurate representation), it would look something like this:
71 California
54 New York
37 Texas
34 Washington
34 New Mexico
26 South Dakota
18 Virginia
15 Illinois
14 Indiana
10 Ohio

eh. i don't beleive it's a fair representation of some of the states.

It obviously shows Washington and New Mexico need to be in the mix. I'm not sold on South Dakota. It also shows that Oregon and Florida are overrated and solidifies New York as number two.

They're not an end all, they just show us some facts. And they took a long time if you must know.
