Personally, I'd prefer the SEC add A&M and VT and call it a day at 14 teams. Still better in football than any of the 16-team conferences. If they had to get to 16 then any of the remaining teams above would be ok, I guess.

It depends if the new PAC-16 gets two auto bids or not for the BCS. If they do, SEC will go to 16 faster than the Big 10 will, but I agree with you they don't need to right now. I don't know if its true or not, but I've heard initial feelers are that Va Tech isn't interested in leaving the ACC. Florida doesn't want another Florida team, but that might get overridden if FSU wants to join, but as of now FSU is luke warm to that idea as well. The general feeling is that Clemson and Ga Tech don't add a significant amount of viewers the SEC doesn't already claim with S. Carolina and Georgia. That's why A&M is someone they want, and they might be willing to add one more to round out the conference. The desire is to add new territory to the SEC and if neither of the big Virginia schools are interested, your most likely candidates are Maryland and Missouri.
