What city/town will win ESPN's “TitleTown USA” search?

Settled as Gainesville, Fla. or Valdosta, Ga.

Background: SportsCenter, ESPN’s flagship news and information program, will launch an interactive, multimedia initiative to determine which town or city in the country will be declared by fans as “TitleTown USA” – the town or city that shares a unique affinity with its title-winning professional, college or amateur sports teams. The series, entitled “TitleTown USA,” will combine fan-generated nominations on ESPN.com, a panel of judges to pare down the nominations, and online voting by fans to unveil the nation’s top sports town. As part of “TitleTown USA,” SportsCenter will embark on a 20-city tour beginning in Green Bay, Wis., Friday, July 4 through Wed., July 23 – originating daily segments with an anchor or reporter from each city.

The 20 Finalists have been selected and voting will take place Wednesday, July 23 – Saturday, July 26.

Live announcement of “TitleTown USA” on SportsCenter including presence from the winning town is Sunday, July 27.

The LA, SF and Palo Alto options are pretty tough to beat. Two of these were basketball and football dynasties.

All of the finalists have a good case to be Titletown USA. Looks like Boston and the Cali cities are Hubdubs early favorites.
I am curious to see how close the hubdub predictions are to the actually winner as voted by ESPN.

I have been submitting this question to alot of sports blogs. It would be great if Hubdub could get a mention on ESPN.
