nice question
& it would be Alaska & Hawaii
both of whom share borders with no other states
& would thus tie for sharing borders with zero other states
but
tho zero is a number
nevertheless zero states or no states is not a number of states
& therefore zero states cant be the smallest number of states
& i like to think it might have been Maine too
who alone shares a border with only 1 other state
but
even if 1 state were a number of states
which it isn't because it is less than a number of them
still Maine is herself but 1 state
so there is no other state available for her to tie
for sharing with the smallest number
then too
it might have been Washington Florida & South Carolina
who do tie for sharing borders with 2 other states
which is the smallest possible number of other states
since 2 is the smallest possible number of states
yet nevertheless
there are 3 of them who tie for sharing borders with 2 others
so they all cant very well be 2 states if they are really 3 states
& in particular they cant be the 2 & only 2 states you are asking for
so moving on
to the class of states who share borders with the next larger number or 3 others
while observing all generally recognized principles of tiebreaking
i can see California North Dakota & Louisiana right off
without even bothering to squint at the little ones east of the Mississippi river
so forget them all for being too many too
whoever they all are
& likewise for the classes of states who share borders with 4 & with 5 & with 6 others
since they are the most numerous classes of all
you can disqualify all of them without even thinking about it
& therefore
the class of 2 who share with 7 would win on tiebreak
& that's Colorado & Kentucky
hooray & hooray
except
incredibly
after all that
Colorado has just been challenged
& indeed has now been disqualified from the class who share with 7
since her common border point with Arizona is not really a border at all
but is merely a point
& a border is by every definition a linear feature
so Colorado is demoted to the class who share borders with only 6
leaving Kentucky with no classmate to tie for sharing with 7
& thus Kentucky too must now be just as disqualified as Maine was for having no partner to tie for sharing borders with
& so we move on again
still in tiebreak mode
to the class who tie for sharing borders with 8 other states
& they are Tennessee & Missouri
hooray & hooray again
but for real & for keeps this time
since there are no more challenges possible
nor even any more candidates possible
seeing as Tennessee & Missouri also tie for sharing borders with the greatest number of other states as well
which is still 8 in that case too btw
Alaska and Hawaii don't border any other states.

There are actually two states that border the largest number of states.Tennessee borders with 8 states: Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.Missouri also borders with 8 states: Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma.There are no other states that border with more than 8 states.
Tennessee and Missouri both border 8 states.
Missouri and Tennessee each share borders with eight states.
Maine has the least number of states on its borders in the continental United States, with only one state bordering it (New Hampshire).
Maine. Maine has only one USA state border. All other states have more than one state borders.

Pakistan shares borders with China on it's Northeast, India on it's East, Iran on it's West and Afghanistan on it's Northwest.
States DO have borders, they are just not marked on land as they are not international.
