RPI by itself is meaningless. It comes down to who you beat and how many wins you had against good teams. The problem is and has been for quite a few years that the P5 conference teams have so many more opportunities to play good teams and the selection committees have valued a 6-6 record against good teams more than a 3-1 record against good teams. At large bids for non=P5 teams may become extinct.
