+100 if you are right pmull.  That will put you back on top ahead of Jesse's dad.

Wow! What if I'm wrong?

The girl went to UT (Texas), and upon hearing the news about A&M she said "they're such losers".

They have a small version of the Bama/barn thing going on. A&M is the barn.

-0, since you are clearly making an educated guess just like the rest of us and not claiming to have an inside source who knows the commissioner or any such nonsense.  In fact, let's make this a contest.  +100 for whoever gets it right.  -0 if you are wrong and made it clear it was just a guess.  -100 if you claim to have an inside source and you get it wrong.

Guessing closes once A&M is officially announced as in or out.  However the results may not be known for a while if they are in and they don't have the other team(s) yet.

You can change your guess if you want, your final guess of record will be whatever you posted last once we get official word on A&M.

Any thoughts, rules tweaks, or other suggestions?

UT huh?  Interesting.  Did you guys know each other back when we played them in Pasadena?

Since I have VA Tech can someone else pick them too or are they off the board?

I suppose we should allow multiple people to pick the same schools, since there are only a handful of realistic choices.  Otherwise we will quickly run out of options.  Maybe we give the first the full 100 and the others 75 or something.  What do you guys think?

pmull, have you seen this quote:

"Virginia Tech is exceedingly pleased with our membership in the ACC," Hincker said in a statement. "It is the perfect conference for us. The university administration has no interest in any discussion concerning affiliation with any conference other than the ACC."

OK, I have been studying this some more this morning and I am ready to make my guess.  I might change it later, but here it is for now:

Texas A&M and FSU

At some point later, once everybody sees the writing on the wall and this has been officially announced or becomes on almost certainty, other schools will scramble to get included.  Initially it will only be 14 teams, but shortly after that I think it will go to 16, probably before a single game is played in the 14 team league.

The next 2 teams will be:

Oklahoma and Va Tech.

Once the Big 12 falls apart, and the ACC will be 1 team short of having what they need for a championship game, I think both of these schools will be lobbying to join.

Now that would be a super conference indeed.

We'll see.

I am seeing internet chatter that the vote is in and it was unanimous to add A&M.  Who knows if it is true.  I'm sure aTm has a kingpin of their own.

[ricky023]

My picks are of course my own fancy:
TA&M and Clemson
then later after the money looks even better:
Miami and Texas Tech
We shall see of curse. RTR!

[SUPERCOACH]

The plot thickens:

Spurred by Texas A&M's flirtation with the SEC, Oklahoma rediscovered its backbone by leading a quartet of Big 12 schools recently to the Big Ten to inquire about joining that conference in one mass transfer. The Big Ten, a source on the front line of the NCAA's changing landscape told me, cited its allegiance to the prestigious American Association of Universities and opted not to pursue an alliance; Oklahoma and OSU aren't AAU members.

I agree with you Preacher. After TAMU, I think Clemson will come next. I at first thought FSU, but the Clemson/ USCe rivalry will be more intense if both are in the SEC. I officially say Clemson after TAMU.

  hey 2stater you get an e-creddie for that one agreeing with me.  , I look at who will be left and have chances to win the ACC and Big 12 every year, that puts them in the BCS bowl so that where I based my picks. RTR!
