Won't even be considered because too many traditional rivalries won't be played.  For example, by having permanent line rivalries, the 4 Carolina schools can always play each other.  UVa can be in the same pod as UNC and on the same line as VPI, and Ga Tech can be in the same pod as Duke (they've player every year since 1937).

An example with ND joining the conference and not specifying a #16.

[TABLE]
[TR]
[TD]Clemson[/TD]
[TD]FSU[/TD]
[TD]Miami[/TD]
[TD]ND[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]NC State[/TD]
[TD]Duke[/TD]
[TD]Wake[/TD]
[TD]UNC[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Louisville[/TD]
[TD]Ga Tech[/TD]
[TD]VPI[/TD]
[TD]UVa[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]#16[/TD]
[TD]BC[/TD]
[TD]SU[/TD]
[TD]Pitt[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

This preserves rivalries and gives ND a team that they've played a number of times in the past.  To make ND even happier with teams they've played a lot in the past, swap FSU with ND and BC with Pitt.  That would give them traditionals Ga Tech and Pitt and academic heavyweight Duke, an idea they'd also probably like.  An added bonus it would make the UVa-FSU Jefferson-Eppes trophy game (it's currently in C'ville ;) ) an annual affair.
