Here is a short list of At-Larges that are not within 400 miles of any projected seeded team:

. . .

East:  North Carolina, Michigan, Michigan State, Baylor, Northwestern, Arkansas State.  Some of these may not qualify or actually get a bid, Arkansas State is within 400 miles of only Missouri (if Missouri gets a bid).  There are several 1 bid conferences that aren't within 400 miles of a seeded team outside of Penn State - so a couple of them is probably being shipped West.  I would imagine UNC and one or both Michigan schools will be heading West.

Based on your RPI projections, do you view Kentucky and Louisville as potential seeds and hosts for the opening rounds? If so, the Michigan schools are both within 400 miles of those potential sites.

Your right - I missed those.  Also Northwestern (if they make it) is within 400 of Louisville and Kentucky.  There appear to be a lot of teams within 400 miles of those two Kentucky schools including Purdue and Illinois.
