If we win the next 2 road games, we might crack the Top 70 in NET (probably just lower 70's though), even if we barely win both games.   (it will be quite close I think)  Optically that would be significant.

The NET, compared to KP, does appear to give more of a power boost to getting a road win.   This is based on my tracking of big movers from week to week, where I see teams with a big road win moving up more in NET than KP.  Otherwise they run fairly parallel.

For example:
- We are going to be 9.5 to 10.0 point underdogs vs Clemson (opening line), so simply by winning that game we are going to be 11 points above "margin expectation" which is a healthy bump under both (   KP would stop there in terms of positive impact)
- In NET there is clearly some extra juice in their secret sauce for road wins.   So we would get extra bonus for that road win beyond the "margin" gain, but its hard to quantify.

Similarly we would get a bit of juice from beating Louisville on the road.
