Just missed the cut: The next best 70

On Monday, the 28th annual preseason National Prep Football Poll will be released and posted here at PrepNation.com. Until then, here's a snack to hold you over the weekend. 
In addition to a national Top 25 poll, the Prep Poll features Top 10 rankings from seven geographic regions; meaning a total of 70 teams are included in each week's release. 

The preseason Top 25 and overall best 70 regional teams for 2014 will be revealed Monday. For now, we present a state-by-state rundown of the next best 70 teams that missed the cut. 

These teams got the nod without respect to region, but at least one team from all but 12 states will appear in either the regional Top 10s or is listed below.
