Sorry if this has been posted somewhere previously - So it looks like A&M will be coming to the SEC and that begs the question....
Who do we add in the East?

The departure of Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to the Pac-10 is imminent, four sources within the Big 12 said Monday. One source said commissioner Dan Beebe's last-minute plan to save the conference has "zero" chance to succeed. Another source said it is "very unlikely" to succeed. Texas' interests in being aligned with the research opportunities and academic missions of Pac-10 schools is driving the decision, along with money. Beebe's last-ditch plan included an emotional plea about preserving rivalries and maintaining the best welfare of the student-athlete, one source said. Texas A&M is now most likely to join the SEC, a source within the Big 12 said. This move, in the wake of Colorado and Nebraska's departure, would further diminish the chance of Beebe's plan succeeding, one source said. Texas' decision is expected to come no later than Tuesday. One source familiar with Texas' plans suggested a hearing on Wednesday at the Texas House of Representatives is "a nonfactor."

Depends on whether we want to go with 14 teams or 16 teams, IMHO.
A 14-team league means adding A&M and probably Virginia Tech.
A 16-team league means A&M, UNC and Duke as a pair, and one other team in any direction.
Adding one team in the west and three in the east allows for Vandy to slide over to the west since Duke will take their spot as the token in-division homecoming victory game.

Duke
Although as a basketball fan, I would love this, I don't see it happening in this situation.

The only reason I bring it up is that Duke is apparently part of a package deal with UNC. It really depends how bad the SEC wants UNC.

Honestly, I see this as a precursor to the fall of the Big East.
I'm not entirely sold on UNC/Duke coming to the SEC...just don't see it happening.
However, I do see a possible Va Tech / Clemson / maybe Ga Tech coming from the East.
If that were to happen the ACC will raid the Big East and that will start to crumble which will force ND to reconsider joining the Big TenElevenTwelve.
