State, Syracuse, UNC, Virginia, Wake Forest). I am not sure if Maryland still leaves for the Big Ten or not in that scenario.
The SEC would look different though. The SEC still takes Texas A&M first, but then would have grabbed Virginia Tech instead of taking a gamble on Mizzou. Texas A&M-Virginia Tech is then branded as the “Big Military Classic of the South,” while Mizzou would have faced an uncertain future in the Big XII. Assuming Maryland still gets poached by the Big Ten, I believe Pittsburgh, not Louisville would have got the call.

So, both Missouri & Louisville benefited because of the ACC expansion not going according to plan.

Maryland is still most likely to leave because CASH. Trying to keep up with UNC/UVA in sponsoring sports and having leadership "issues". Not a great combo. Maryland had to cut 7 sports.
