20 Projected 2011 CBI/CIT quality teams

Appalachian State (SoCon)
Arkansas (SEC)
Austin Peay (OVC)
Bradley (MVC)
Charlotte (A-10)
Detroit (Horizon)
Drexel (CAA)
Houston Baptist (Great West*)
Miami (FL) (ACC)
Miami (OH) (MAC)
Michigan (Big Ten)
Middle Tennessee State (Sun Belt)
Mississippi State (SEC)
New Mexico State (WAC)
Notre Dame (Big East)
Oregon State (Pac 10)
Penn State (Big Ten)
Stanford (Pac 10)
UAB (C-USA)
Wright State (Horizon)

Thoughts:
Houston Baptist should win the Great West, but the CBI or CIT will be their reward. The most likely teams to move up from this group to the NIT or NCAA tourney would be Penn State, Arkansas, and Charlotte.
