Could any current SEC teams be lured away by another conference?

SEC with a recent history of poaching the Big 12. If another conference came calling what SEC teams might think about leaving or actually leave?

I've always imagined Kentucky being a good fit for the Big Ten. I certainly don't see one of the newer members leaving, so... Kentucky or Vanderbilt (ACC or Big Ten)
ETA: I don't see either leaving however

I can't think of one that would seriously consider it.

Auburn to the ACC if we ever lose the DSOR

I thought LSU and Arkansas were joining the Big 12 to bring it to 12 teams.

Vanderbilt considers itself a Southern university, so it's quite unlikely that the B1G would be considered an alternative.

Not just no, but hell no.
Obviously there was the thread about CM Newton talking about moving to the ACC. But at this point, I think Barnhart is good where we're at and is showing that he's willing to try to make some progress (especially financially) for football.

In the last round the ACC offered B1G teams so you never know.

Mizzou to the BIG is the only one i see.

I know you don't like it... you've expressed this opinion more than once. I keep thinking it though.
The Big Ten, however, has made it pretty clear they're going eastward (which I don't like myself). Expect Connecticut to be one of the newest members. Syracuse should've been one of the new additions.

I was about to say UK to the ACC since they already have thought about it back in the early 90s. The ACC is a basketball conference, and their football program would be more competitive in the ACC.
Mizzou might give the B1G a glance if they were to be offered sometime down the road (like 10 years or so).
I could also see Arky going to the Big 12 if the Big 12 can figure out a way to get close to the same future revenue as the SEC (I think the SEC will separate financially from the Big 12 because of the SECN). They would probably have a easier time recruiting Texas, and would have a better chances of staying competitive in the Big 12.

The B1G would never invite UK because of academic reasons.

The BIG has Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota. I don't think that's much of a concern.

All three of those schools are AAU schools.
ETA: Their CIC is a big deal for them, and non-AAU schools wouldn't add much to it. So unless your a football giant like ND or Neb (who was AAU when they joined), they won't take a non-AAU school.

Bama would listen if the NFC south came calling.
