Couldn't find a list or clear answer without looking at final RPIs and comparing to the brackets to see who got in.  I found articles that state Dayton was 32 in '08 and didn't get in and SDSU was 35 last year and didn't make it.  This year Rhode Island is 39-40 and likely out as that "soft bubble" has gotten pretty tight (stupid Big Ten letting Illinois and Minnesota make runs to get more than four bids), Wichita State is definitely out with an RPI of 44.  The infamous '07 snub of Syracuse was with a 46 RPI.

the lowest I could find in the past 10 years was Missouri State with a RPI of 21 and not getting an at-large bid.  I also found teams with RPIs of 30, 32, 34 from the Missouri Valley not getting bids.

The worst RPI to get an at-large bid I saw was New Mexico in 1999 with a 74 RPI.  They were 24-8 and got a 9 seed.  Won the first game over Missouri and lost in the second round to UConn.

Missouri State is the poster child for why RPI is only one minor part of the committee's consideration.  As long as your RPI is north of 60, you're going to get on the committee's list of schools to consider.  Then your "body of work" takes over.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

And New Mexico's Rudy Davalos (sp) was on the committee.

That was under the old RPI formula, however (losses home and away were treated the same).
