I have things to agree and disagree with this one.  I strongly disagree on the bolded part.

1.  I agree with the perspective you provided in the first paragraph.

2.  I don't think that Missouri win will help them out at all.   KP at this point is still fluid at this point, but by my quick scan their KP of #141 is 62 out of 65.   Only better than Georgia, Washington, and mightly Pitt.   They can improve a bit, but I can't see it really becoming anything.

3.  NET's are highly influenced by how a conference did in OOC.   Here is what happens when you enter conference play in January.  The conferences that did well (SEC, BIG, BE, and B12) all have better NET's / RPI's and it become a multiplier effect...they start to boost each other's RPI/NET which most importantly boosts Q1 and Q2 win opportunities.  And the lower performing P5 conferences have lower metrics coming into conference so the multiplier effect goes the other way.

As I posted last night look at the disparity in Q1 games played by an ACC team vs an SEC Team.

As a positive Bartorvik (and KP) for that matter still project nice things for FSU, but I think part of that is because there is still a predictive factor in their formula.   Because I don't see that number in their actual results to date.
