Looking at a map, I would go with Houston, Missouri, Virginia Tech, and maybe Florida State or Clemson.

UF only has one vote and it takes 9 out of 12 to pass something.NO Miami.
UF won't stand for it.
Who wants to go nearly to Cuba to play in an empty stadium?
Miami doesn't care about college football, it is not a college football TV market.
anothing is gained with Miami.
You can almost bank on this: Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina will agree with one another to vote as a block against FSU, Miami, Clemson, and Ga Tech. The SEC doesn't accomplish anything by adding any of those schools anyway -- no expansion of TV markets, and just more mouths to feed from the same pie.UF only has one vote and it takes 9 out of 12 to pass something.
Aside from getting into Texas (which doesn't seem all that likely at the moment) I believe getting Virginia and/or Virginia Tech (more than likely Tech) is one of the main goals for the SEC in expansion.As for raiding the ACC, Tobacco road Wake, Duke, NC and NCSU will never split. Miami is not interested. Ga Tech adds nothing as the SEC owns Atlanta. Now think about the state of Virginia (11th in population) and Va Tech owns the state and our largest alumni group which is Northern Virginia and that my friend is the DC Tv market. VT just knocked Maryland off the major DC radio station for sports marketing!
