President Barack Obama’s NCAA Tournament Bracket
18 March 2010
0 Comments
A lot of people have their opinions about our new president Barack Obama, but the one thing that sports fans love about him is that he is one of us as he loves baseball, football and basketball!
One thing that Barack Obama was right about last year was his pick for the NCAA Tournament National champion as he picked the North Carolina Tar Heels in his March Madness bracket.
This season Barack Obama has filled out another bracket and from the looks of things he knows his stuff once again as his picks are on the ball, at least until the NCAA Tournament starts on March 18th.
This time around Obama has picked the Kansas Jayhawks to be National champs as he believes that no team will be able to take down Bill Self’s number one squad.
Here are how Barack Obama’s picks look:
Sweet Sixteen
Midwest Region
Kansas Jayhawks (1), Michigan State Spartans (5), Georgetown Hoyas (3), Ohio State Buckeyes (2)
East Region
Kentucky Wildcats (1), Wisconsin Badgers (4), Marquette Golden Eagles (6), West Virginia Mountaineers (2)
West Region
Syracuse Orangemen (1), Butler Bulldogs (5), Pittsburgh Panthers (3), Kansas State Wildcats (2)
South Region
Duke Blue Devils (1), Texas A&M Aggies (5), Baylor Bears (3), Villanova Wildcats (2)
Elite Eight
Midwest Region
Kansas Jayhawks (1), Georgetown Hoyas (3)
East Region
Kentucky Wildcats (1), West Virginia Mountaineers (2)
West Region
Syracuse Orangemen (1), Kansas State Wildcats (2)
South Region
Duke Blue Devils (1), Villanova Wildcats (2)
Final Four
Kansas Jayhawks (1), Kansas State Wildcats (2), Kentucky Wildcats (1), Villanova Wildcats (2)
National Champion
Kansas Jayhawks (1)
For the most part I like Obama’s picks here, but there are few teams that I believe should have been included like the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Purdue Boilermakers and the Maryland Terrapins. All and all though, he picks are on point in my opinion!
Sportsbook odds for Texas vs Alabama 2010 BCS Title Game
10 December 2009

The BCS Championship Game will be played in about a month and the NCAA sportsbook experts, or odds makers, are taking that into account when they set the lines for the game. As good as the Tide looked against the Gators last week, if the title game was being played this week, we would anticipate at least a 7 point favor towards Alabama. But with a few extra weeks to prepare, the game is not as easy to predict as the teams normally look much more prepared. At this time, BetUs.com, one of the top USA online sportsbooks has Alabama as 5 point favorites over the Longhorns.

As we predicted in yesterdays post, the Seminoles were able to step up their game and the D finally looked like they knew what they were doing. BYU did not play very well and the Noles did get some key turnovers, but with a 54 to 28 victory, The FSU Seminoles are showing that they have hte ability to step up and play like the critics think they can, but can they do it more than one week?
The Noles take on the South Florida Bulls this week and should be able to have another high scoring affair. With a climb to #18 in the AP Top 25, we will see what they can do to make it a little higher up the rankings.
#7 BYU at FSU today

When the BYU Cougars upset the Oklahoma Sooners in Week 1, many thought that the matchup against Florida State was a pretty big deal and one that has a lot at stake. But with the Seminoles loss to Miami on Labor Day, BYU faces an unranked FSU team.
Florida State followed up their loss to the Hurricanes with a dismal performance against Jacksonville State where the Noles did not get the job done until the final minute of the game – that was almost a 0-2 start. We watch Miami destroy Georgia Tech this Thursday and it looks like the Canes are for real. Thier QB is lighting up the scoreboard and their defense is incredibly fast. This will be an interesting year for the Canes, although they have some very tough games coming up – with Virginia Tech next week.
We think the Noles have something to prove this week and anticipate the defense finally stepping up their performance and actually covering some receivers this week. FSU needs to get the ball in the air, and not throw behind the line of scrimmage 50% of the time – use the famous slant of 10-12 yards that we use to use to tear up the competition.
