2016 NCAA Tournament: President Obama picks Kansas to win, Virginia to fall in Elite Eight

The Presidential Bracket is out! Barack Obama picked #1 overall seed Kansas to win the NCAA title. The President has filled out a bracket annually during his presidency, and also picked the Jayhawks to win it all in 2010 and 2011.

Obama had some kind words for Virginia, but he picked the Hoos to fall to Michigan State in the Elite Eight. He explained, "They've got a great coach in Tony Bennett, but I'm going with Michigan State. Much respect for this team, as UVA is disciplined, but I believe that Denzel Valentine is the best college player.
