Are Pitt and Syracuse still going to the ACC?

Are we now going to have three 12 team conferences (Pac, B1G, SEC), one 9 team conference (big Xii), one 7 team conference (big easy w/Tcu), and a 14 team ACC?

SEC is 13 teams.

ETA: and yes, Pitt and Syr are going to ACC after their "notification" period.

You're right...my bad.

This is a cluster frick.

How can 7 and 14 team conferences both get 1 bcs bid? One has literally twice as many teams to compete with!

I heard on the radio that the big 12 will most likely add BYU to replace aTm. Then they may look at the Big East to add a few more teams to bring them back to 12. The Big East will probably not be a BCS conference anymore.

Reading the comments on newsok.com today reminded me very much of what I heard last summer when A&M didn't bolt for the SEC. The OU fans are pissed and realize that the Big 12 is still a sinking ship. In fact, they have started a Facebook page.
Oklahoma to the SEC

I am getting a funny feeling that they will be team #14 in 2013. I freely admit that I have no source. It just looks to me like OU is in the exact same situation with its fan base than A&M was in 2010, and you know that Texas will continue their bully tactics.

So Baylor wanted to sue A&M and the SEC when it looked like the Big 12 might fall apart because they felt like the SEC was raiding the Big 12. But now they are going to be perfectly ok with the Big 12 going out and raiding the Big East. Hypocrisy, Thy name is Baylor!
