2010-2012 realignment moves.

I would grade the conferences like this:

1. SEC (added Texas A&M and Missouri) — B+ (biggest winner)
2. B1G (added Nebraska, Maryland, Rutgers) — B-
3. PAC (added Colorado, Utah) — C
4. ACC (added Cuse, Pitt, L'ville; lost Maryland) — D
5. Big12 (added WVU and TCU; lost A&M, NU, MU, CU) — D- (biggest loser, other than the Big East obviously)
