Yes, it's happened several times. In 2004, #25 Utah State was left out. UNLV at #25 was also left out in the 1990's.
In the 1970's, prior to conference tournaments, only one team from each conference made the tournament. So, in 1971 #2 USC did not make it because UCLA was #1 and beat USC twice that year. In 1973, #3 Maryland did not get in because they could not get by NC State.
