Related: About this forumObama picks Indiana
President Barack Obama is favoring the Big Ten in this year's NCAA tournament, ultimately selecting Indiana to win it all.
The president predicted that Louisville, Indiana, Ohio State and Florida will reach the Final Four and that Louisville and Indiana would meet in the title game.
"I'm going with Louisville. I know it's not a surprise pick," he said on a tape shown on "SportsCenter" Wednesday. "And I'm going with Indiana. These are the two best teams right now, and for the championship I'm going back to the Big Ten. I think this is Indiana's year."

I thought you were complaining about the President's entire Elite 8 picks as PUKE. You meant Duke and now this post is so much funnier to me.

I just don't see it and I hate Arizona. I actually don't think Arizona falls until Ohio State.
I also have Indiana vs Marquette in the elite 8 in all my brackets except for 1.

Hey, I'm a current Wisconsinite and a life-long Midwesterner, but I'm not that much of a homer. Especially when you throw in Marquette and St Louis.
