Top 55 for NCAA basketball 2010-2011

Just a quick why-not list of who I think will be the invited teams in the 2011 college basketball NCAA tournament. As you'll note, I gave the Big Ten, Big East, Big 12, and the ACC conferences all 7 bids each. I also expect Michigan State (if healthy, of course) to make their third Final Four appearance the charm. Anything less should really be a disappointment.
