If Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, Michigan, Mich St, Northwestern are In...Then 6 spots could be open. Here are the candidates. I don't think we are in right now and need that win vs Baylor
Illinois St --25-6 record. Only 2 top 100 wins (Wich St, New Mexico) Both at home. SOS is 171. 3 of their losses are Wsu and Tcu. Other 3 losses are teams 97, 112, 232 RPI.
Xavier - Their starting PG got injured and is done. He was ave 15.0 Pts. They are 4-6 since his injury. 2 of the wins are DePaul (RPI 227). They finished 7th and 9-9 in Big East. They only went 3-9 vs the Top 6 in the conference. 19-12 overall. 3-8 vs Top 50. 8 top 100 wins. RPI is 33.
USC -- They went 13-0 in Non Con. Beat SMU. They went 10-8 in P12. 6 of their wins are vs 3 bottom P12 teams (RPI 172 or higher). Went 1-5 vs Oregon/AZ/Ucla. Lost only matchups with 4th place Utah and 6th place Cal. They only have 5 Top 100 (2 are top 50) wins.

Vandy - 17-14 record. They have #3 SOS and Swept FLA. Those 2 things may help get them in despite record. Have 3 other top 50 wins ( Iowa St, Arkansas, S.Carolina). A loss to aTm in SEC would meen 17-15 record.
