I currently have an "FCM" offer on an upcoming SMF-RDU for $691, the coach fare I bought was $269. Recently there have been <$700 G fares to RDU, so I am hoping that FCM will drop to about $400 closer to the date of travel, in which case I will consider it since I doubt I get upgraded now that I am dropping to gold.

I often never get FCM offers at all on my itineraries out of SMF. I guess they are selling most of the F at asking price, which jives with my track record for upgrades, which is fairly poor on SMF-SLC/MSP/ATL and vv.
That's interesting. From ORD, I see ~$70 a lot. Doesn't matter whether connection is in ATL or MSP (try and avoid DTW because of E145 and CR2s)

EDIT:I misread SMF as SDF!
