Barack Obama picks Stanford Women to advance to the Elite Eight and lose to Votre Dame:

Ouch, based on his accuracy last year, the chance of us getting to the Elite Eight is slim.  But maybe this year he has realized he'd do better by going with seeding.  (Hopefully next year no one will cover his predictions.)

Obama 7 predicted upsets (2016). 1  right, 3 wrong, 3 no game because one or both teams (always incl. his predicted winner) lost earlier.
12 Albany over 5 Florida  (Florida won)
11 Princeton over 6 West Virginia (WV won)
3 Ohio St over 2 ASU (no game;  Both Ohio St & ASU lost to 7 Tenn)
9 Auburn over 8 St. Johns (correct)
3 Louisville over 2 Oregon St. (no game. Louisville lost to DePaul who lost to Oregon St)
5 Florida State over 1 Baylor (Baylor won)
5 Florida State over 3 Louisville (Neither team was in the game.  Louisville lost to DePaul. Florida St lost to Baylor. Both DePaul & Baylor lost to Oregon State)

Of the elite 8, Obama had 2 correct.  (Four of the top 2 seeds in each region made the elite 8.)

2016 WBB tourney upsets (per seeding).  Count: 16
9 Duquesne over 8 Seton Hall
10 Missouri over 7 BYU
9 Auburn over 8 St Johns  (Obama got this one)
10 St. Bon. over 7 Okla St
9 Kansas St over 8 GW
12 Albany over 5 Florida
9 Indiana over 8 Georgia
7 Tenn over 2 ASU
7 Wash over 2 Maryland
5 Miss St over 4 Mich St
5 Florida St over 4 Texas A&M
6 DePaul over 3 Louisville
