Kansas is the nation's pick to win the NCAA tournament. Even President Obama picked the Jayhawks and Bill Self to win the national championship.
The Jayhawks are a 53 percent favorite over Michigan State to win the national championship game in ESPN's national bracket. The same final matchup and champion were predicted in CBS Sports' national bracket.
The Final Four matchups were also the same in each bracket: Kansas vs. Oklahoma and North Carolina vs. Michigan State. Each entry into ESPN and CBS Sports' tournament challenge is counted as a vote and the results make up the national brackets.
Many top analysts, however, like Big Ten tournament champion Michigan State to win it all. Among them: Seth Greenberg, Dick Vitale, Charles Barkley and Clark Kellogg. ESPN's Andy Katz, who interviewed President Obama while he made his picks, agreed with POTUS and picked Kansas to win.
