What are relative d orbital energies in a ML₄ complex (tetrahedral) that is only capable of σ-donor interaction? Use AOM theory.

Using Angular Overlap Parameter tables I found that: d orbitals z₂ and x² -y₂ are unchanged and d_xy, d_xz, d_yz are 4/3e_σ destabilized.

All the ligand donor orbitals are stabilized by 1e_σ

Is this headed in the right direction?

How do you know whether the uncoordinated metal orbitals will be higher or lower than the uncoordinated ligands orbitals in energy?
I'm hoping to make this into a mini discussion so additional input is happily accepted.
