In more recent years, road wins count for more in the RPI. Also, if you play a non-Division I team, the win doesn't count in an RPI...but I believe a loss does.

Evidently so. It still would have been interesting for them to have a shot. They would not have won it but maybe they would have eked out a win or two.
