Here is a link to a post on Valleytalk (thanks to cpacmel) that lists the number of bids the 6th rated conferences have gotten since 1999. 3 of the last 5 years they have gotten at least 5 bids. No team with an RPI of 40 or less was denied a bid--

South Alabama is routing Western Kentucky.
45-36 at halftime

Unless something changes, they will be the automatic qualifier from the Sun Belt.

Western Kentucky had an RPI of 53 (and a 22-6 record) coming into this game and that will drop a few points. They don't have enough quality wins. They appear to have just given the NCAA enough reason to exclude them. I don't think this loss by WKU can hurt Bradley, since they were well behind Bradley on the list of bubble teams, anyway.
