Current checking interest rates in Nashville area

In the last few days, I have reviewed the interest rates available in checking accounts for a few dozen banks in the Nashville, and some national and online banks. The following banks offer the best interest rates on checking in the Nashville area, in the order of my preference. Simmons Bank recently acquired First State Bank, and since then has significantly lowered the checking interest rate.
