I have been quietly following this year and here are my thoughts so far
Rhode Island is giving me strong winner vibes and is my favorite at the moment. She's very striking and gorgeous, I was unsure about her at 1st, but she's the complete package and would be a standout at Miss Universe! Another Miss USA this soon is possible for them. I am also very pleased with my homegirl (Nevada) this year! I've seen her compete in person and her stage presence is fantastic. I was unsure about her at first because her facial features are not the best and she struggles with the on stage question, but her body, presence and exoticness make up for it and she has improved drastically and she'll make us very proud, I'm sure of it! I doubt will win again, but frankly, I would have rather had her win Miss USA for us than Nia. I have also seen Colorado compete in person and she's a glamazon, she's articulate, her body in insane and reminds me a lot of Crystle Stewart. She's the most underrated girl this year! Florida is probably the most improved this year, I can see her in the Top 5, she keeps looking better and better, all she needs is a good gown at this point and I think she's a shoo-in for the Top 5! Michigan is gorgeous, her presence and body is great and her face is divine, she's short, but that will make up for it. I am not too familiar with Mississippi yet, but from what I've seen so far, I'm impressed. New York is the MUO prototype, is gorgeous and complete, but I find Rhode Island more interesting than her. She should be up there though. Oklahoma doesn't need any further explanation, she's gorgeous, but she won't win since she competed in MW. Texas is fantastic as usual and is the total-package. I can't see a Top 5 without her. I find Utah prettier than her sister, there's something about her that intrigues me and I would like to see her styled much differently than Marissa was.
Those are my favorites right now, as for the other girls, this is the first time since I've followed Miss USA that I am unimpressed with Alabama, but since she's Alabama, I'm not counting her out yet. Arizona has a beautiful face but that's it, California & District of Columbia has lots of potential, Georgia has the face but is way too short for Miss USA, Louisiana will obviously place, and looks fantastic in photoshopped pictures such as the one on the Miss USA website, but looks like a man in candids. Maryland is overrated, I'm surprised people are hyping her so much, Colorado and even Tennessee are stronger than her, IMO! Massachusetts has a beautiful face but that's it, I like North Carolina more than her sister, but I don't think she's beautiful enough to be a Miss USA, she's striking though and will probably do well. Ohio looks like a robot at times, also overrated. South Carolina is underrated, I've seen some photos of her, where she looks really beautiful. She has southern charm. Tennessee reminds me of Nana Meriwether, not beautiful, but has the full package and can look good if she styles herself to the best of her capability. I find her stronger than Maryland, I'm on the fence with Virginia, I really think it could go either way for her.
Right now, my Top 15 would be

1st Runner Up Nevada
2nd Runner Up Texas
3rd Runner Up Oklahoma
4th Runner Up Florida
Top 10
