No one in a play in game deserves to be in
Since they have make it be 68 teams in '11, at least 1 of those 2 play in game teams at the 11/12/13/14 seed play in games has gone to the round of 32 all 6 years, 3 have gone to S16, and of course VCU went to the final 4 in '11, the first year they did it. So, as much as it's janky as crap, the play in games have brought in teams that have had success in the tourny. They may not "deserve" it, but their success has proven otherwise.
