    Geographically speaking:

    Navy, Central Florida, Georgia Southern, East Carolina

    Realistically:

    Louisville, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh.

    Ideal:

    Swap Clemson for USC in SEC
    Add Va Tech to SEC
    Add Louisville to SEC

    Add Miami to ACC
    Add Pittsburgh to ACC
    Add Navy to ACC

    Merge the Big East and Conference USA.

    VT and Miami bring nothing to ACC basketball,


    They would have to bring in a school that excel in both basketball and football...

    I'd say Miami's not too shabby at basketball. Nothing perfect, but they've been top 25 a number of times, and a better basketball conference would probably have them bringing in better national prospects. VT, not so much, no.

    I think it's up in the air between Davidson and Catawba with Lenoir-Rhyne a long shot (but sentimental favorite).

    To me 11 teams is stupid - go to 12 or stop at 10... I hate play in games or should I say "The FSU Invitational" :D (basketball)

    there will more than one play in game if they go to 12 teams... there has to be the numbers don't match up right to form a proper bracket... so reardless not only will you still have a play in game, but you will have more than one.

    the bracket is easy enough with 12 teams. Top four get a first round bye, the other eight play.


    5/12 winner plays 4

    6/11 winner plays 3

    7/10 winner plays 2

    8/9 winner plays 1

    Wake Forest may have a marginally competitive football team, but it will be hard for them to stay that way year in and year out. It would be good for them.

    Duke is easy to figure. They would like an opponent for football (although they almost competed in several games). Plus pushing a school such as Vandy at least gives them a variation on the don't water down the basketball anymore theme. Its hard to keep saying the same thing all the time in a political setting. Once an argument's been rejected, the others don't want to hear it anymore.

    Va Tech is a one sport school, I think. That's why there was no interest in them except for the Governor of Virginia strongarming the President of U Va. Frankly, I'm glad they're coming though. I like football, and I think ACC football is mostly boring. There are alot of Va Tech alumns around, and their football is exciting. With a greater local spotlight on their deficiencies, their other programs will probably come up some.
