The answer is Missouri. Both Missouri and Tennessee are bordered by 8 states. However, Tennessee is separated from Missouri and Arkansas by the Mississippi River. Tennessee does not "adjoin" Missouri or Arkansas. Therefore, Tennessee "adjoins" 6 states. Missouri does not "adjoin" Tennessee. Therefore, Missouri "adjoins" 7 states. Missouri adjoins 7 states and Tennessee adjoins 6 states.
Tennessee has 8 adjoining states (Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas)
Missouri also has 8 (Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas)
Kentucky has 7 (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri)
