We fit the best with them academically, geographically (ruling out the Big 12), and time zone wise. Going west to the Pac 12 would suck time zone wise - going east to the ACC would be much better.
Having said that, the 5 power conferences will never go to 16 teams. Why split the existing pie an additional 14 ways? The Pac 12 and the Big 12 both will either top up to 14 teams to match the other 3 conferences or the Big 12 goes away and the remaining 4 conferences go to 16 teams. Notre Dame moves in and some poor schmuck team gets bounced - Rutgers anyone???? My bet is it settles out as 4 conferences. 64 teams is the nice neat number and sets up well for both a football team playoff and wait for it.....March Madness.
The remaining teams playing Division 1 get some sort of NIT football playoffs and the NIT is already there for basketball.
If the 5 conferences survive and settle at 14 teams, we are playing musical chairs for 6 spots. Notre Dame and BYU get 2 spots so we are fighting for 4 spots. I highly doubt we will beat out UCF, USF, Cincy, Houston or Boise State for one of the spots........

I'm sure the band will do something offensive to someone at the spring game and we'll get that topic going again.

Also it will conflict with our regular season that the g5 will play in the spring.
Gotta love some June
