The P2 are at 34 so far by my count... I may be missing a team or two, but I would argue the breakdown is something like this (in rough order of importance):

In Somewhere:
Notre Dame (once forced)
FSU
Clemson
UNC
Virginia
Miami

Probably In:
NC State

Maybe In:
Utah
Louisville
Duke
WVU
Virginia Tech
Syracuse
TCU
Kansas
Oklahoma State
Pitt

In Now But Could Be Out:
Maryland
Rutgers
Northwestern
Vanderbilt

There are a few others that are in now that aren't as good as some of the "maybe in" schools IMO... But by sheer inertia they are probably safe. There are a few others that are out now that I left off that I think should be in, but I think the people making the decisions will be driven by the short-term dollar and not by sustainability.

Anyway if it's 48 schools I think we're pretty safe, if it's 40 I think we're pretty screwed. I think we'll be moving up that list over the next few years, so the longer this takes the better our chances of getting up ahead of NC State in the pecking order.

Regardless, we'll be in the best of the rest conference if we don't make it... whether that's the ACC or Big 12, I'm not sure it really matters. Only difference is the name on the logo because it's gonna be a national hodge podge of left behind former P5ers.
