Good thinking Post!
If the would be 11 points at the Olys were to count towards the 1011 season, we could add Ashley or whomever to next years Nats but it is only counted at Worlds. I believe Mirai and Rachael could garner at least 13 points in Torino.

Their nemesis in Torino will be Ando, Kostner, Lepitot and a suprising Meier. which could knock out he American hopes.

This is true, and you could even throw Gedevanishvilli in there as well where she is now a European medalist, and Leonova and Makarova, potentially even Korpi because she beat Rachael and Mirai at CoC this year even though she did not skate well (neither did they but still). However, in terms of consistency, Rachael and Mirai are much more consistent than any of these Euro ladies, but you never know when someone will have an off night or the SOHL. The prospects look good for the US but I wouldn't say it's a done deal yet. I'd love for Mirai, Ashley, and Christina Gao to go next year though!
