To be honest, I am not a big fan of college Basketball. Frankly, I know few people who are. After all, most people’s interest seems limited to selecting teams on a whim from brackets in their office pools.
But participating in this selection process (aka bracketology) has become as obligatory for political/social/cultural commentators as it is for sports analysts.
Indeed, it’s an indication of the sheer madness this tournament incites that President Obama makes an annual show of filling out his brackets (as he did yesterday), making sure this year to give equal (Title IX) time and effort to his selections for the men’s and women’s tournaments.
So here are my picks:
Men’s Final Four
Louisville, Georgetown, Indiana, Ohio State
Champion
Ohio State
Women’s Final Four
Baylor, California, Duke, Connecticut
Champion
Baylor
