Former President Barack Obama continued his March Madness tradition by announcing his NCAA Tournament slate on Wednesday.
Obama has been doing this since becoming president in 2012, having Arizona win the men’s tournament and UConn atop the women’s tournament.
Both brackets were rather chalky, as is often the case with Obama.

He had every No. 4 seed on the women’s side — UConn, UCLA, Texas and South Carolina — reaching the Final Four and beating No. 2 seeds in the Elite Eight outside of regionals (he beat No. 2 Iowa in the Final Four in Sacramento).

On the men’s side, top-seeded Duke will face Arizona in the championship game, while Illinois, the third-seeded South seed, and Iowa State, the second-seeded Midwestern seed, will advance to Indianapolis. His only upset came in an 8-9 and 7-10 win: No. 11 South Florida beat No. 6 Louisville in the East.
Of course, Obama isn’t the only celebrity to get in on the action.
