The President’s picks are in.
Barack Obama filled out his annual NCAA Tournament bracket for ESPN, and his top pick might not surprise you at all. The POTUS has the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats beating Villanova in the title game to become the first NCAA Division I men’s team to complete a perfect season since Indiana in 1976.
But Obama didn’t pick all chalk. He has No. 10 Davidson making it all the way to the Sweet 16, getting through No. 7 Iowa and No. 2 Gonzaga before losing to No. 3 Iowa State. However, one of his upset picks already is off to a bad start, as he had No. 11 BYU defeating No. 6 Xavier. BYU lost its opening round matchup Tuesday to Ole Miss.
So far, Obama only has correctly predicted one national champion — he picked North Carolina in his first presidential bracket in 2009 — although he has had more successful brackets overall in other years.
