If I'm not mistaken they said a couple days ago the lowest RPI ever to get a national seed was 12 right?
In 2009, Oklahoma (17) and UC Irvine (18) got national seeds.

Probably. But over the past couple of years they've tweaked the formula to where it's no longer a gauge of how strong a team actually is.
Look at West Virginia....they have a top 30 RPI but they are 5-18 against RPI top 50 teams. 9-14 in their league. RPI says they're better than 3 teams in the SEC who will see post season play.
Now look at RPI 18 Indiana State. They're 3-3 vs the top 50 RPI, and have 22 wins over teams with RPIs at 101 or higher. That's nearly 3/4 of their wins. The RPI says they should have a shot at hosting.
