Yeah I'm no professor but I posted a thread on December 4 stating the same thing.

That VPence holds the cards Constitutionally as president of the Senate, and will likely toss out or void the dueling elector slates from the seven disputed states.

I remember reading somewhere just before the Election that they must vote along party lines. So if that's true, anyone arguing that no 'the rhinos can jump ship,' is mistaken.
