Not far-fetched, Stech. VT is definitely "qualified" for either P2.
But the real answer comes by comparing VT to others who are also in the running. And the question is complicated when we look beyond individual programs and start to compare pairings or groupings of schools. Is UVa/Miami more attractive than VT/Clemson, UNC/GT? Will SEC and B1G fight over UNC/UVa? How many schools can be involved overall? Will the sequence of movement control the final outcome? That was the case in the death of The PAC 12. We all have our predictions, fragile as they are.
If you find yourself with time to ponder this subject: list all of the teams you believe are candidates. Include possible properties out west. Use whatever criteria you deem appropriate. (Don't try to be objective, not possible, that's okay.) I change my mind almost daily on my "Most Likely" result.
For a while now, I have been consumed with the changing/growing role of media companies asserting their fiscal muscle, particularly in college sports. It's too important to be left out of any realignment calculation.
