If you let in A&M, who is the 14th? Could be another Texas school, but Missouri, Maryland, Virginia/VTU all seem to make sense.

We'll see what happens Monday, but right now beyond A&M to the SEC I'm not buying any of the rumors out there.

I cannot see Virginia and VPI splitting up, unless they both end up in better homes (ie: UVA to Big Ten and VPI to the SEC).

Too much political maneuvering was used to strongarm VPI into the ACC to let them leave UVA behind in a weakened conference (especially if FSU goes, as well).
