Who you think they'd pick, not necessarily who you'd pick.

maybe we should have a poll regarding headaches we'd like to kick to the curb?

Yeah, we already have one self-righteous, holier-than-thou, entitled a-hole fanbase.

I went UVA/UNC. It is about eyeballs. Notre Dame brings more than those two but UVA/UNC locks down the 9th (NC) and 12th (VA) most populous states.

cable TV isn't as powerful any longer for the BTN $$ grab.

Why da Hell does the Big Ten need to get to 20 when the rest of you aren't even at 18 yet? 

GFY brah.

FWIW:
If it were strictly up to me I wouldn't have added quite a few of the schools that we added to get to 18 and I think most everyone here is in agreement on that.  

The OP didn't ask that and went out of his way to NOT ask who WE would pick but who we think *THEY* will pick.

It isn't, but there IS still value in being THE league for a state.  

My concern with either FSU or GaTech is that with either of those programs the B1G would be a CLEAR second fiddle to the SEC (UF/UGA) and I don't know that we want to go down that road.  Florida (3rd) and Georgia (8th) are more populous than North Carolina (9th) and Virginia (12th) but I think there is at least an argument that we'd be better off bringing in THE major school in NC and VA than a secondary school in FL or GA.

FWIW, states by pop:

  • 39.4M California - B1G
  • 31.3M Texas - SEC
  • 23.4M Florida - SEC (the ACC is a clear second even with both Miami and FSU)
  • 19.9M New York - ? ? ? The B1G has an argument with Rutgers but CFB isn't all that big here
  • 13.1M Pennsylvania - B1G
  • 12.7M Illinois - B1G
  • 11.9M Ohio - B1G
  • 11.2M Georgia - SEC (ACC/GaTech is a clear second and it isn't close)
  • 11.0M North Carolina - ACC.  NC is odd in that they have WAY too many 'major' conference schools with four (DooK, UNC, NCST, Wake).  My perception is that UNC is far-and-away the fan favorite locally.  
  • 10.1M Michigan - B1G. For decades MI was right behind OH but GA and NC have no surpassed them.  
  • 9.5M New Jersey - B1G
  • 8.9M Virginia - ACC
  • 8.0M Washington - B1G
  • 7.6M Arizona - B12
  • 7.2M Tennessee - SEC
  • 7.1M Massachusetts - ACC?
  • 6.9M Indiana - B1G and ND
  • 6.3M Maryland - B1G
  • 6.2M Missouri - SEC
  • 6.0M Wisconsin - B1G
  • 6.0M Colorado - B12, Colorado will surpass WI soon.  
  • 5.8M Minnesota - B1G
  • 5.5M South Carolina - SEC/ACC, who is the fan favorite locally Clemson or USCe?
  • 5.2M Alabama - SEC
  • 4.6M Louisiana - SEC
  • 4.6M Kentucky - SEC
  • 4.3M Oregon - B1G
  • 4.1M Oklahoma - SEC
  • 3.7M Connecticut - ? ? ? Do they even care?
  • 3.5M Utah - B12
  • 3.3M Nevada - ? ? ?
  • 3.2M Iowa - B1G
  • 3.1M Arkansas - SEC
  • 3.0M Kansas - B12
  • 2.9M Mississippi - SEC
  • 2.1M New Mexico - ? ? ?
  • 2.0M Nebraska - B1G
  • 2.0M Idaho - MWC?
  • 1.7M West by god Virginia - B12
  • 1.4M Hawaii - ? ? ?
  • 1.4M New Hampshire - ? ? ? Do they even care?
  • 1.4M Maine - ? ? ? Do they even care?
  • 1.1M Montana - ? ? ?
  • 1.1M Rhode (we're not really an) Island - ? ? ? Do they even care?
  • 1.1M Delaware - ? ? ? Do they even care?
  • 0.9M South Dakota - ? ? ?
  • 0.8M North Dakota - ? ? ?
  • 0.7M Alaska - ? ? ?
  • 0.6M Vermont - ? ? ?  Do they even care?
  • 0.6M Wyoming ? ? ?


The biggest two most realistically available states as between the SEC and B1G are #9 North Carolina and #12 Virginia and both are growing rapidly.  Time to lock them down.
