Okay, now that the ACC has raided the Big East and stolen Miami and Virginia Tech, what other rumors of conference corporate raiding are you hearing?

Our sports talk radio shows down here have several scenarios in play, of which this is the most likely:

ACC now has eleven teams and needs a twelfth for a championship game. Therefore, ACC will raid the SEC and steal South Carolina.

SEC will then find itself with only eleven teams, and will need to raid somebody else for a new twelfth team. Therefore, the SEC will steal Georgia Tech away from the ACC, which puts the ACC back down at eleven.

We've also heard of Southern Mississippi or Memphis as longshot grabs for the SEC, and a wild rumor that the ACC will go for Florida. However, there can't possibly be any benefit on Florida's behalf to jump to the ACC. What could they possibly gain from such a deal?
