Which state is due for a finalist?

Someone on a pageant message board compiled a list of when each state last made the Top 10 or 15 at Miss America. (And you think I spend too much time on the internet doing pageant stuff!)

A lot of people have been wondering when the last time a state was a finalist. Well in my infinite boredom, I compiled a list.
