I have no idea if this guy is any good or not but I searched for the preseason RPI rankings and found it.

Note - Vermont was projected to be an 80 which would not have yield a quad 1 opportunity on the road.

There were only 14 non P5/BE teams in the preseason top 75 and only 10 ended up in the top 75. They were Wich St, Cincy, St Marys, Gonzaga, URI, SDSU, BYU, Boise St , St Bonaventure and C of C. So 8 teams not counting the A10 teams. My point is that you have to be smart and lucky to get the right games. But as I pointed out before, in the B10, Wisc was preseason 31 and ended up 112. However Nebraska was 102 preseason and ended up 56.

Add in the challenge of finding the right matching dates and avoiding pre-conference tourney match-ups, it is a very difficult task for the non P5/BE teams to create those quad 1 opportunities.
This site had Vermont at #64, not sure about the site's accuracy...that would qualify as a q1 road win.
