The links below make an excellent point, the writing is on the wall and the question is going to be soon, not which state will be next to grant equal rights but what will be the last state to grant it and give same-sex marriages.
These are the 18 states left that dont have legislation written/being written and or court cases in the works to fight for equal rights.

Idaho
Nebraska

Nate Silver Sends 'The Daily Show' to Find the Last Gay Marriage Holdout State
My pick is Mississippi since not to long ago people tried to bring legislation back to ban interracial marriage.
Theres more states than there are poll options so i picked the 9 most likely based on history and put an "other" spot for write in.

14 states and DC have equal rights:
California
Connecticut
Delaware
Iowa
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Minnesota
New Hampshire
New York
New Jersey
Rhode Island
Vermont
Washington
18 more are in various stages of fighting or establishing a fight for equal rights
New Mexico – is granting equal rights for now and the SSC is going to decided on this soon
Court Case(s) in the works to establish equal rights:
Arkansas
Kentucky
Michigan
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Utah
Virginia
Court Case(s) and Legislation in the works, which ever wins first:
Arizona
Hawaii
Illinois
Nevada
Ohio
Legislation in the works:
