Of the 17 teams that have either joined a P4 league or moved between them in the 2020’s decade, whose decision aged the best and the worst?

Since 2020, 17 teams have either joined a P4 league or moved between them. These teams have had varying levels of success in their new homes but who has made out the best and who made a bad decision?

For reference (not that we don’t already know but still)

SEC: Texas, Oklahoma

Big 12: Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, Cincinnati, Colorado, Houston, UCF, Utah

B1G: Oregon, Washington, USC, UCLA

ACC: Cal, Stanford, SMU

IMO: either Arizona State, SMU and Oregon has done the best in their new conference

Oklahoma, UCF and USC have underperformed so far
