Sen. John McCain has filled out his NCAA Tournament bracket (Hint: His Final Four is heavy on the #1s) and is challenging America to beat him.
Hoping to capitalize on March Madness, but not the betting aspect of course, the GOP presidential candidate's campaign launched a points-based contest with McCain attire as prizes.
While playing it safe with all the first-seeds making the Final Four, McCain does pick a couple upsets along the way like Duke over Pittsburgh in the second round and UNLV falling to Georgia Tech in the opening frame. UNR, meanwhile, is slated for a round two defeat at the hands of Memphis. In the end, though, it's North Carolina over Kansas.
Sign-ups end Thursday at noon EST.

The upset I am praying for is VCU over Duke. Go Virginia Commonwealth! And UCLA.
Hey Minx, better check your brackets again. I have UCLA winning it all. That bodes poorly for two people I know.
I picked UCLA to lose in the final game. I'm a UCLA fan--that sentence fragment was misplaced. However, they have a history of choking so I am hedging my bets. I hope they win it all.
Not surprisingly, I went with the Buckeyes over the Bruins 62-60 in the final. That is, of course, if Oden stays out of foul trouble.
My point was that since I have UCLA winning it, they won't get to the second weekend.
OS 76, UCLA 70.
