In an ideal world, Virginia Tech or NCSU would be #15 and #16, but if they are off the table then I would choose WVU and FSU as #15 and #16 with the understanding that UF has to be onboard with it first.

If nobody wants a new team in their state and the ACC schools are intransigent, I'd say screw it and tell ECU their dream just came true and they are WVU's new travel partner.

If we wanted to really go outside the traditional SEC comfort zone, we might actually consider Pitt as another possibility for #16. They are AAU, get the SEC into a big state, improve our basketball, have a longstanding rivalry with WVU and frankly, if we can take a school as far north as WVU is anyway, we can take the school from a blue collar steel town just a few miles up the road from Morgantown too!
