March Madness kicks off tonight and President Barack Obama is picking Indiana to win the whole thing.

If you haven’t filled out your bracket, yet, get on it!

The Ducks, who just won the Pac-12 after eeking out a victory over UCLA last Saturday, are in the tourney. Despite their solid Pac-12 performance, the team is ranked as a 12th seed, the lowest of any other Pac-12 team. They’ll take on Oklahoma State tomorrow in the Midwest regional and we pray they prove how ridiculous this slap-in-the-face-seed is. Go Ducks!
