Basically, if ~~the FCC~~ Verizon and Comcast loose in court, ISPs will be able to do as they please only in states with no net neutrality protections. They will have to follow both the FCC and state law otherwise.
In effect, this is highly likely to backfire. ISPs will have to spend more money than they claimed they did (before the repeal) in order to meet regulations.
I'm personally a bigger fan of mandated line sharing. This would actually foster competition. Furthermore, if the FCC were to protest it, it would be irrefutable evidence that they are captured and that NN wasn't repealed to foster competition at all.

I don't think they will loose in court. Bows and Arrows wouldn't make it through the security check. (Commanders before the invention of firearms wouldn't be saying "fire" you see.)

You mean, if the win the challenge to the FCC repeal action and lose the effort to have that repeal preempt state neutrality laws. Win/win and Lose/moot are also possibilities.
