Notre Dame. 

Then beef up the B1G West with Oklahoma and Texas, sliding Purdue into the B1G East.

Realistically.

Or do you not believe Rutgers can underachieve its way out of the conference?  If they're unable to win more than one P5 game a year for the next 10 years, they're still safe?

You should probably be more worried about your Gators winning more than one P5 game per season for the next ten years. 

Unlike Florida, Rutgers has already demonstrated the ability to beat Michigan.

If we're talking realistically, you're really just saying, which conference eats it first between the Pac-12 and Big 12 and figure out who you want. In truth, underachieving hasn't driven the old guard out of a power conference, so I imagine it would need to be institutional failure that does it.

SEC is the only conference without an exit clause. If the B1G is going to move a team the easiest would be from the SEC.

Missouri doesn't seem all that happy and just 5 short years ago was begging to be let into the B1G.

As long as cable contracts are set up as so, Rutgers is safe. A decade from now with the 50+ million a year, if they can't improve their lot (and I'm not talking football here, even though that is the most visible,) then maybe a discussion can be had about a replacement.

Florida, Vandy and Missouri would round out my top, selfish choices, in that order.

Lack of obsession, noted. :)
I don't think it's realistic that a P5 conference would kick out a member for anything other than institutional  failure, as bay area badge pointed out.

Granted it was BCS 6, rather than Power 5, but didn't the Big East kick out Temple for performance?

Florida would be a boon for the Big Ten.  Tremendous academic and athletic package.  I'm sure that if they could be convinced to leave the SEC for the B1G, they'll most certainly want a traveling partner or two.  Georgia Tech would certainly be on the short list.  Maybe even UGA, but I don't think they'd be nearly as easy to convince (and GT and UF are hardly easy gets either).

I think cultural differences can be overcome (PA/NJ/MD are as different from IA/WI/IL as FL/GA/NC are), but I'm not sure how keen the UF/GT/UGA brass would be about having to come up North at least twice a November to play football.  At least if a hypothetical Southern team wins the B1G East, they can play indoors in December.
