I think I'd be happier with FSU in the ACC, in terms of its ability to compete for a national title. Not sure how big the money difference would be, but if the ACC lost a couple of teams like Clemson, GT, or VT, and added basketball-first schools without giving up its BCS auto-bid, then in a best-case scenario where FSU regains some form of dominance, it would be FSU or UM in the BCS nearly every year. I'd be perfectly content with having to argue that the ACC isn't the weakest conference from a 10-2, 11-1, or 12-0 guaranteed BCS spot, rather than slug it out in the SEC and go 8-4 with the same team.
