Early RPI numbers- Bradley soon to play #1 RPI team

I have an idea.... how about Bradley just going out and winning the MVC. When was the last time the MVC Conference Champ didn't get a bid? I think it was 1992. SIU and ISU finished 14-4 but Mo St at 13-5 won the MVC Tourney. SIU got an NIT bid and ISU stayed home. That year, the MVC was 21st in Conference RPI, SIU was 108, ISU 121 and Mo St was 98. (wow - seeing that info shows how far the MVC has really come, huh?)
