WV and TCU have had a lot of success. However, Mizzou and Texas A&M have more potential.
Without a doubt.

A&M in specifically has not used it wisely in the last decade or so. The facilities, the money, the fan base, the atmosphere. Everything is there for it to be a good program, it just hasn't molded all of it together.
Agree completely. They need to hire a really good coach and I think that will be the final piece of the puzzle. Maybe Sumlin is that coach. We'll see, but he is going to need a defense. He won't win many 73-35 games in the SEC.

West Virginia and TCU will struggle in the Big 12.
Agreed, TCU more so than WVU, IMO.

TCU will eventually become a player in the conference due to recruiting in a BCS conference, and being based in the state of Texas
I think it takes more than that, though. They don't have the fan base and visibility that WVU has. I wouldn't be surprised to see TCU become a lower-tier Big XII team while WVU is a mid- to upper-tier one.

To be fair, I think TCU only has about 8000 total students so the fan base will necessarily be smaller. Even Vanderbilt (which I assume has the smallest enrollment in the SEC) has more than 10,000 I think.
And obviously, of the four teams mentioned in the OP, A&M is the best situated for future success. It comes down to whether Sumlin's the right guy.
