Err... whoops my b. Need to think about what I'm typing.
So maybe TCU isn't that good of a fit. But it's still relatively good.
Yup.
Yea, that's the only issue. So then what? Oklahoma? Mizzou?

Oklahoma won't go. It's already pretty well established that if they leave, it'll be for the Pac 12. MizzOU, WVU, and Clemson seems the most likely possibilities.
Speaking of SEC, every time I go to ESPN boards, haters keep saying the SEC beefs up on cupcakes. Penn St was ranked in the Bama game. LSU beat both Oregon and WVU. How long is the same argument (now obviously untrue) going to continue?
What's going on with Oklahoma? They belong in the Big 12.
Speaking of the Big House, I can't remember a game that there were less then 100k people there. The Notre Dame game set record attendance for the stadium, somewhere around 114k iirc.

Missou seems like the best choice of a mediocre lot, at least if Virginia Tech won't budge. Frankly, I'm not sure Texas A&M was a great buy either, but perhaps I'm under estimating their appeal in Texas?
I wouldn't mind having Missouri in the Big Ten, but I'd rather wrap up Notre Dame first.
The SEC rejected WVU. It's a bad school in a tiny market with a decent football program. Oklahoma either wants a true equal footing in the Big 12 (or at least unequal sharing biased equally towards them and Texas) or the Pac-X.

It's more to do with the recent stretch of absolute domination the SEC has had on the rest of the country. I would rail against how bad it is for the sport, but if I'm honest, I never cared that Ohio State's domination could have been bad for the Big Ten, or bad for the OSU-Michigan rivalry. As much as I've loved watching Michigan fail for the last decade, the big game has lot its big factor at this point.

Why do you railing on about the Wolverines attendance? Congratulation, you just like EVERY SEC school, but too bad the rest of your conference ain't the same way. I mean Georgia's sold out every game for 6 straight seasons (a NCAA record) but you don't see me going on and on about it.

Yeah, I think Cal has had their fill of that problem.

Hey Dawg, just being a homer
I may be putting my foot in my mouth here (to be seen in a couple of weeks), but I really don't think there will be anymore conference shifts this season.

You're likely right, but everyone will go on and on about a 14th SEC. I'm thinking it'll be another year. Peoples' minds cannot seem to graps that there is no reason the SEC cannot play with a 13 team unbalanced conference.
I know it's completely wild that Virginia would leave, but if they did the B1G would have the makings of a workable lacrosse conference, with UMich, OSU, PSU, and UVA. Hopefully ND too,

Bro, the ACC is the lax conference.

Indeed, when I think of conference alignments and TV contracts, I think of lacrosse as the biggest driver.

They had better grab Johns Hopkins before someone else snatches them.
My frat at Ga Tech was the de facto headquarters of the lacrosse team. One of the demands for the pledge treasure hunt was to get a photo of Bobby Dodd (the athletic director) holding a lacrosse stick, because Ga Tech refused to make it an official school sport. Obviously, nobody managed to do it.

How about Navy joining the Big East?

They would be perfectly competitive in football, but they would get KILLED in everything else. I briefly went to American University, a tiny college that shares the Patriot League with Navy and Army. If Navy struggles to beat American, Holy Cross and Bucknell in volleyball, basketball, soccer, etc...it will get MURDERED by West Virgina and Cincinnati.

It seems like Utah State gave them that on the final drive. I did not see the whole game, so holding BYU to 20 up to that point sounds good, but how they played in the final minute was just awful.
Poor Utah State 
That's a second heart break in 4 games.

It's actually their third. The only reason I watched their game last week against Colorado State (L 34-35 in 2nd OT) was because it was on my pick 'em I run and I was the only person who had CSU, but the game had a crazy ending where CSU came back to send it to overtime, and Utah State decided to go for 2 in second overtime and failed... Twice. They got a penalty after the first try and still failed.

Where can I buy a defense for the Arkansas Razobacks? Yeah, they have a decent offense, but their defense has the consistency of a wet paper towel. Sigh.
