Nobody seemed to care about this match and I don't blame them. North Carolina wins in a relatively close one and faces Vermont in the Divisional finals. Wow this division was weak as hell.

On one side, with a population of over 36,000,000 we have California. The most populous state by far and the third largest by area, California boasts a wide array of landscape and cultures. To spice up this

Aww yeah that's nice. And let us not forget their governator
Who is your daddy and what does he doCalifornia started off in Round 1 by merely having a draw with Alaska for first place. Round 2 wasn't much better with a poor win over Wyoming. However, California took it up several notches in Round 3 when it tore Connecticut, a decent mid-carder, limb-from-limb with almost 80% of the vote. Needless to say California is coming into this match with momentum.
On the other side. we have the great state of Washington with a population of just under 6,000,000. So it's smaller but size isn't everything. Remember the Tortoise and the Hare? Well, that wasn't really size but you get the point. Or I could simply direct you to Texas vs Vermont. Yeah, I'll do that. Washington has the Space Needle which people might care about but more importantly it boasts this
That's right. Starbucks. The future leader of this planet. The headquarters is here, in Washington.
Washington is also run by this person
Okay. she's no Arnold but she did beat a guy by the name of Dino. Not easy to do you know. Dino is such a cool name. I'm going to name my kid Dino. But yes, Washington has a female governor and 2 female senators. Is it a girly state? Arnold would say so but let's see what the voters have to say
Washington has done the best of any state so far. It demolished all it's opponents in Round 1 and pasted Maine in Round 2. Round 3 is squared off against Virginia, a state that had proven to be strong and Washington still won very easily.
