President Obama Picks Michigan State to Win NCAA Tournament

As he does every year, President Obama has made his picks for the NCAA Basketball Tournament, and his Final Four teams are the same as Fikkle Fame’s–Michigan State, Florida, Louisville, and Arizona.  The President differs from us in that he has Michigan State beating Louisville to win the championship while we picked Florida over the Cardinals.

The President and us are in agreement on quite a few picks, but he does go farther out on a limb than we do by picking two #12 seeds to upset #5s — he has Harvard beating Cincinnati and North Dakota State upsetting Oklahoma.  While we’ve heard other prognosticators say the Bearcats and Sooners could be upset, we stuck with the favorites.

None of the Commander in Chief’s picks for the Elite Eight are below a four seed.  His complete bracket can be found here.
