The American people have spoken, and they agree with Barack Obama. At least, they do when it comes to their March Madness picks. Obama has picked North Carolina to win the national championship, and the composite national bracket at ESPN.com shows that North Carolina is the most common pick of the more than 3.65 million people who filled out an ESPN bracket.
North Carolina was also the most popular choice to win its first-round game, with 99.6 percent of ESPN.com entrants picking the Tar Heels, and 0.4 percent picking
In a possible sign of Duke hatred, the Blue Devils were seen by the fans of America as the most likely of the Top 8 teams to lose their first-round game. Still, only 1.3 percent of fans picked Belmont to upset Duke.
The most evenly divided first-round game? UNLV vs. Kent State, with each team picked by 50.0 percent of the public. Oddly, at least through the first half, that has been the most lopsided game of the day so far.

"North Carolina was also the most popular choice to win its first-round game, with 99.6 percent of ESPN.com entrants picking the Tar Heels, and 0.4 percent picking Mississippi Valley State."
UNC isn't playing Mississippi Valley State...
The Heel's have a "fifth gear " that no other team has. In the fourth period , at some point , they switch into that gear and put teams away. UCLA is the only other team that has a chance against them.
