Biden who is a graduate of Delaware and Syracuse, doesn't have a team from his alma mater this season. But that hasn't stopped him from cheering for Villanova Wildcats thanks to the first lady, Dr. Jill Biden, who is an alumna. Among the men's teams, Biden picked the No. 2-seed Arizona Wildcats to emerge as the champions.

Meanwhile, former President Obama has picked No. 5 seed Duke to go the distance in the men's tournament. Among the women's teams, Obama has picked the No. 1 seed South Carolina Gamecocks to clinch the crown.

Interestingly, Obama has been quite a successful predictor as between the men's and women's tournaments, he has successfully predicted champions eight times since 2009.
