Barack Obama’s March Madness brackets feel like they were filled out last-minute, just like the rest of us

He picked Duke to win it all on the men’s side!

It’s the tradition we all love to dissect every year: Barack Obama filled out his men’s and women’s March Madness brackets, and surprisingly, he didn’t pick a No. 1 team to win it all on the men’s side.

But — and with all due respect to the former president — it kind of feels like he’s like the rest of us, filling out his bracket last-minute.

He picked Duke, a No. 5 seed, to win it all, even though there’s some buzz first round opponent Oral Roberts could upset the Blue Devils. This feels like, eh I don’t know who’s going to win, let’s just go with Duke because they’re Duke. I know people who are thinking like that!

On the women’s side? South Carolina. A better pick in my opinion given that they’re the favorites to repeat.

And here’s the funny part: He forgot to fill in one matchup on the men’s side. Oops!
