NCAA tournament 2011: Michigan State, Baylor among last teams in

Got to be honest, I really can't make a compelling case for any of the final four at-large teams. I can only say they are a tad better than the first four teams I left out of the field. And I should add that Virginia Tech is on dangerous ground. The Hokies don't have a top 50 win as of today. They have two sub-100 RPI losses. If they don't beat Duke, I think they have to beat Clemson or Boston College and one game in the ACC tournament. That projection may change, but that's how I see it today.
