I think the real roommate swap that needs to happen is:
Missouri to the B1G
Maryland back to the ACC
Virginia Tech to the SEC
This is actually the perfect scenario. 1) It gets rid of Missouri, who rode our coattails to the SEC, 2) It creates one more great end of year SEC/ACC matchup with VTs annual game with VA (assuming VA didn't go all "texas" on them and refuse to play), 3) Provides a valuable tv market to the league, and 4) VT is a much more natural fit in the SEC than Missouri, especially in the East.
I like Clemson, it's a good school. But Clemson IS the ACC. They've always been there and it is THEIR league in football. Or maybe it is theirs to share with FSU. Either way you slice it, they will never be in the SEC as long as USC is around. South Carolina is just too small of a state to have two members.
Clemson needs to just enjoy the ride and their turn to rule the roost before Saben retires and Swinney leaves.

I'd hate for us to lose VT, but no one in the ACC would take Maryland back. They've been shitty at everything for years, and Louisville was a huge competitive upgrade. WVU would be a pretty good trade for VT, though.
You are correct that Clemson would never leave the ACC; the Tobacco Road clan runs shite, but there really isn't much to complain about anymore. A good team can win from any conference, and there is only so much money they can spend. If it were all about money, USCe and Tennessee wouldn't suck.
As long as FSU stays and keeps some football "star power" in here, Clemson, Miami and VT are a pretty good football base and the conference is stable. If ND ever signs the dotted line for real, that's a top tier football list. The ACC is competitive nationally in most of the other sports, and really outstanding in some.
