Missouri starting in 2008 and without the bump of the BCS win: 25, 40, 21 48, 31, 41, 30 - Average Rivals rating of 33.7.
At what point have I sufficiently established that KU took the momentum it gained from having a BCS title and effectively set it on fire?

I think that's correct in the short term but I would say it's more due to the people doing the actual recruiting.
When KU is back on it's feet having a BCS win will do much more good as a recruiting tool than having not even played in a game.
You can try and diminish all you want but MU isn't exactly lighting the world on fire recruiting wise. Having a shiny BCS game trophy to point to (or a playoff appearance from here moving forward) will be much, much better than pointing to something like the Alamo Bowl or Independence.
