Obviously, it's more than a bit early for doing projections like this. Having written the algorithm for implementing the Holyrood FPTP/AMR system and applying it 2011 data to check that I was understanding it correctly, the effort to apply current polling to predict the 2016 result was minimal. Take with a few kilograms of salt.
