According to that tool Doug Gottlieb, the SEC is now pursuing FSU, Clemson, and Missou to go along with TAM.  FSU would be fine, but I would hate to think that we settled in the rush to get to 16.  Why not just take TAM and FSU now, and then wait and see if some bigger fish (like OU and VPI) come available in the next couple years?  I just don't see what Clemson brings to the table.  And Missou, while they might deliver some big TV markets, I don't see them as a cultural fit.  I don't see any other league fighting to snatch up those two, so if nothing better comes along in the next couple years, they'll probably still be there.
