    WVU is going to the SEC, so no need to talk about them even if you think the ACC would accept them, which it wouldn't.

    So make it:

    Division A
    Southwest Pod:
    Florida State
    Georgia Tech
    Texas
    Texas Tech

    Carolina Pod:
    Clemson
    Duke
    North Carolina
    Wake Forest

    Division B
    Northeast Pod:
    Boston College
    Maryland
    Pittsburgh
    Syracuse

    Atlantic Pod:
    Miami
    N.C. State
    Virginia
    Virginia Tech

    Forgot TCU. They pretty much got punched in the face with their hands down like Ortiz.

    I'd like to see Texas and UConn as the next 2 teams, if there are 2 more to come (and I think there will be).

    Texas will only come if Texas Tech comes with them.

    It's going to be an interesting week or two. This whole deal is opening up to renegotiation the TV contracts. Looks like ESPN may be the one who really has the power in the expansion race.

    I think soem of the issue is with LHN(LongHorn Network). I think if Texas would drop the network then the ACC would probably accept them. The Texas fans are 50/50 about joining the ACC and the logistics could be an issue.

    I just don't want Nova, Rutgers, UCONN.

    UConn would be interesting. I don't care that much about the ACC or why teams are expanding right now, but UConn I could see. No team west of the Mississippi makes sense to me at all. I get it's all a power grab, though.

    I retract my comment about UCONN. I guess it could be a lot worse but I would prefer Penn State and ND.

    ND and PSU would be more interesting, I never considered them and I doubt they move, I just think UConn fits and I might be the only one. No worries.

    UConn & Penn State make alot of sense to me. Notre Dame needs to go to the Big Ten.
