first off, Toledo's pretty good this year. they lost to Ohio State by 5 and were screwed out of a win by the refs at Cuse, and their other loss was to Boise State. secondly, i think we can all agree that picking our expansion candidates by the score of last week's games is about as idiotic a proposal as there is. the truth is we probably need both Temple and UCF. since the next two years are pretty much positioning for our next media contract, i think Philly would win out over Orlando, but they're both probably attractive enough that we could add them. of course they're desperate moves, otherwise we'd have done it 5 years ago, but news flash:we're desperate.
as an aside, what was the reason that Temple was a football only member previously? did they just prefer the A10 for other sports, or would Nova not allow them in for other sports? either way if there's going to be a split with the bball schools it'll be important to stay in Philly. an "eastern" conference needs to have NY and Philly.
