I would take Virginia Tech. Cut a deal with the big ten. Have the big ten take Maryland to weaken the ACC and then wait for the any two of these: NC State, Ga Tech, Clemson, or Florida State to join the SEC for 16.

Horrible article. All these folks assuming that 16 is inevitable, much less desirable in the short term, are just lunatics. The only way the SEC should consider going to 16 is if UNC, Duke, and NC State presented themselves as a take it or leave it package deal. That's not going to happen.

Virginia Tech would be my first choice, but I don't think they will come unless the Big Ten destabilizes the ACC by taking Maryland (with or without Virgina in tow--I know that would be a really enticing package for the Big Ten). So, that leaves us with the two other football oriented schools in the ACC (FSU and Clemson), or West Virginia, if an Eastern team is required, or Missouri, if we can be flexible and take a western team (but perhaps put them in the SEC "East" with the SEC's other northern teams). Out of those four, I would go FSU, Missouri, Clemson, West Virginia, and I'm really not sure I'd feel necessary to make a move right now for any of those four, except perhaps for FSU.
