Obama’s Bracket Looks Better Than Yours After NCAA Tournament Day 1

Unless you missed on less than two games in Day 1 of the 2011 NCAA Tournament, President Obama’s bracket is beating yours. (And don’t feel bad -- he would be leading the SB Nation pool, as well, and we are supposed to be doing this for a living.)

↵Obama correctly predicted 14 of the first 16 March Madness games, including the upsets of Richmond over Vanderbilt and Gonzaga over St. John’s. The two the President missed were Louisville over Morehead State (which we all missed) and Michigan State over UCLA. One negative about his bracket, though: He is already down to 15 Sweet 16 teams with Louisville losing. He had the Cardinals beating Richmond in the round of 32.
