Which of yesterday's losers is your favorite?




Welcome to the final day of Round 2 of Board 8's Favorite North American Subdivision! First, don't forget to take a look at our few quick, common-sense rules if you haven't already:
  • Alt voting is lame. Don't do it.
  • Editing your vote is allowed as long as you're not changing the subdivision you're voting for in a given match; preferably don't delete and repost your vote to correct a typo when you can edit it instead.
  • Matches will last exactly 24 hours - no less and no more, not even by a second.
  • If a given match is tied at that time, I'll run tiebreakers on subsequent days until one subdivision wins.
  • I reserve the right to edit these rules at any time should I have missed something or otherwise feel it's necessary.
  • Most importantly, I encourage you to help keep this topic bumped (especially in the PDT mornings when I'm asleep), tell others about B8FNAS, and generally have fun!
With that out of the way, here's the bracket: https://challonge.com/B8FNAS
And here's the results and discussion topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/78882138

Now, let's move on to today's contenders and their matches:

Northwest Territories vs. Alberta

I certainly didn't expect this Canadian border match, even though I probably should have. In theory, Alberta has a big advantage, but its foe did look more impressive last round.

Quebec vs. New Hampshire

In another border match, we have the huge French-speaking piece of Canada versus a much smaller slice of New England. Both sides have reputations to keep up, but only one can do so here.

Pennsylvania vs. Mississippi

Pennsylvania presumably has a lay-up here, but I can and have been surprised before. Mississippi does happen to be the very last Southern state left, after all.

New Brunswick vs. Wisconsin

These two subdivisions have relatively similar shapes and broad climates, but they're rather different otherwise. Will New Brunswick manage to keep the Maritimes alive, or will Wisconsin replicate its westerly neighbor's continued success?

Northwest Territories has fewer Albertans in it, and pretty much everyone I know from Alberta would probably agree with me on this point

New Brunswick is one of those places that I know nothing about so I can imagine it's awesome

match 1 would be very close otherwise; but having a brother who passionately studies dinosaur/bird fossils makes it hard for me to not be intrigued by alberta's relevance to that side of paleontology compared to even most of the rest of the world

honestly i don't have strong feelings one way or the other on most of these today though
