I think most of us see value in the Sooners but we're all assuming we'd have to take Texas as a freebie add-on to get the OU prize.

If that's not true and we can siphon off OU and let Texas go chase their Pac 12 destiny or whatever, who else could we add?

Obviously NC State and VT get mentioned a lot, neither seem natural to me but I get that there are a lot of geographic "fits" that are off limits (primarily FSU and Clemson). Nobody wants thug life Louisville. UNC or UVA would be welcome but neither will come. I would consider Oklahoma State.

I'll take a nice dive into a swimming pool filled with lemon juice and razor blades.

UNC is my favorite option. It seems off to me that there’s no North Carolina SEC school. NC State might be too far down the ladder though. For selfish reasons I would like to expand east instead

Va Tech or NC State.

Culture and footprint works with either of them.

Florida State and Clemson. I'd prefer both of them over really any other P5 schools. They make the most sense geographically and culturally. North Carolina and/or UVA would probably be next on my list.

I'm from NC so I'd love for UNC or State to join. UNC seems to run that conference so I doubt they'd leave
