I can't imagine FSU or Miami would want the other Florida schools in the ACC.

I have increasingly heard that WVU and Pitt will end up in the ACC if/when the conferences move to 14. There also seems to be some sentiment that Syracuse and UConn (plus UConn and Boston College are not on very bad terms) do not want to leave the basketball schools behind and would rather make a go of it in the Big East (w/ or without an ACC or SEC expansion), so I think Louisville and Rutgers would be in the conversation, as well.
Apparently, Louisville is a hot name now because, with their new arena, their basketball program ended up generating more income than all be 20 or so football programs. I think Dan Beebe will reach out to them and BYU if/when AtM and Missouri leave the Big 12 (not sure either will show interest).
