Want to fill out your bracket like Barack Obama?
Good news, the former commander in chief released his annual take on both the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments on Tuesday, morning and while there aren’t too many surprises with the latter, Obama’s men’s bracket features quite a stacked Final Four with No. 1 UConn, No. 1 Purdue, No. 3 Kentucky and No. 3 Baylor.

On the women’s side, the former president has No. 1 South Carolina, No. 1 Iowa, No. 1 USC and No. 2 Stanford.
As far as the Hawkeyes go, Obama is going to need Caitlin Clark to continue her superhuman ways on the court as Iowa received quite a tough draw in the Albany region. No. 4 Kansas State, No. 3 LSU, No. 2 UCLA and No. 6 Louisville are each capable of taking down Iowa.

Among some of the notable first round upsets in the men’s tournament, Obama is going with No. 13 Vermont of No. 4 Duke, No. 11 NC State over No. 6 Texas and No. 11 New Mexico over No. 6 Clemson.
Obama hasn’t correctly picked an outright champion since North Carolina won it all in 2009. Could this be the year he breaks his streak?
