Every state politician who submitted a bracket won.

Since the six state politicians — and President Obama — picked Carolina to win the NCAA championship, they all get points.

Still, they all got the No. 2 team wrong, choosing either Louisville, Memphis or Connecticut to also make it to the final game, instead of Michigan State.

Their bracket scores (out of 193):

Gov. Beverly Perdue: 135
Secretary of State Elaine Marshall: 134
Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin: 124
Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton: 121
Sen. Richard Burr: 118
Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler: 64

Obama and Sen. Kay Hagan also picked Carolina to win.
