I have no idea.  I don't think we're at 11 yet, though we could get there.

If you want to count the entire 2008-2009 season, even though the Kansas win came before the streak, but it's close enough, this is what I have:

2008-2009: Cornell, Kansas, Memphis.  (And to be fair, Cornell wasn't exactly a true NCAA tourny team that year, they made it of course, but not as an at large and they wouldn't have been close to one.  They were a 14 seed.
2009-2010: Cal, Florida, Cornell (they were very good this year)
2010-2011: Michigan, Michigan St (and yeah I have no idea why I said Michigan was at home)
2011-12: To be determined; Florida is a for sure, and maybe Stanford as well.

I would throw the 2009 Cornell out, to be honest.  Like I said, a 14 seed.  They were like 104 in the Pomeroy rankings.  That would leave us at 9 right now, pending the rest of the season. (And calling Stanford a tourny team)  Let's look at Duke, UNC, Kansas.
I won't go through all the teams, just the totals

Duke: I've got Duke at 13 right now, with a chance to add a few more with Washington, Temple still to play.
UNC: 6.  6!
Kansas: 10, and they have a chance to go to 11 with Ohio State tomorrow.

So yeah, middle of the pack.  Duke is far ahead, with the 13.  The 6 for UNC is crazy; the year they won the national title, they won 1 OOC against a tournament team, Michigan State.  (Played Kentucky and Notre Dame, but both were NIT teams).

All of those teams have played more NCAA tournament teams that we have, I believe, maybe not UNC.

2009 is also a nice endpoint for us.  The number is 9 from 2009, if you go back and add 2007 and 2008, the number remains 9.
