Just like everyone else in your bracket pool, President Obama has the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats winning the NCAA Tournament. In his bracket, Obama picked the Wildcats to top another top-seeded Wildcat team, Villanova, in the title game.
Plugging two No. 1 seeds into the final wasn't Obama's only safe bet. His Final Four features three No. 1s and one No. 2 (Arizona), and he picked 15 of the top 16 seeds to reach the Sweet 16; only Davidson, a No. 10 seed, snuck into that round with an upset.
Maybe Obama went with the boring picks because there's a decent statistical case for submitting a chalk bracket in this top-heavy tournament. Or maybe this is just what a politician's bracket looks like when he doesn't have to pander to swing-state voters. —Jon Terbush
