Football perspective: FSU & Clemson
New market perspective: VT & UNC
Blackballed: Texas & OU
As an A&M homer, I can admit that Texas just has so many damn resources (Money, political power, reputation, & Austin is a great city). The SEC move is such a recruiting and exposure advantage for A&M. The A&M-to-SEC move has also killed OU's recruiting in Texas.
And of all X-school is tied to X-school situations, I believe OU & OkSt is #1 on that list. No way OU leaves OkSt.
It makes me so happy that they are in their current situations. B12 has zero quality expansion candidates, and they would be such fish out of water (culturally & geographically) by moving to the PAC & B10.

Those appear to be the front runners.

I have to agree here. I've seen a lot of people say that they want OU but that they don't want OSU. I don't want OU with or without OSU. Arky and A&M were enough of a stretch on the SEC moniker, we don't need any more western teams in the Southeastern Conference.
Don't get me wrong, I really like having the pigs and aggies in the league, and I would love the opportunity to even up the series with Texas, but that doesn't mean I want them in the conference. OU does 0 for me.
FSU and Clemson, on the other hand, provide great rivalry potential. I'd like to go to the other Death Valley and watch the Tigers beat the Tigers. Less so the North Carolina schools, and even less so the Va. schools. I have NO inclination to go all the way up to Virginia to watch LSU pound the shite out of Virginny.
