Baracketology: President Obama picks Texas A&M to the Final Four

It's no secret that President Obama is a huge basketball fan. Each March, he fills out a bracket alongside ESPN's Andy Katz. He may be surprisingly bad at predicting the outcome of the tournament, but I like to think means that he's due.

This year, he claims that he fought his usual urge to go "chalk," (just ignore his pick of Kansas as national champion for now) which resulted in your Fightin' Texas Aggies making it all the way to Houston and the Final Four.

His West bracket has A&M beating OU (which he claims "was tough") to face Duke in the Elite 8. In regards to that matchup, he says: "I like the veteran leadership that A&M can provide. A&M's my big pick to get to the Final Four."

He provided slightly less analysis on Texas A&M vs. Kansas in the Final Four: "I'm going with Kansas."

Well...that was quick, Mr. President. A little too quick, sir, in my humble opinion. But considering you took A&M to the Final Four to begin with, I'll look the other way. After eight full years of picking brackets, we'll see if fighting off his normal instincts pays off for the Ags.

Gig 'em, POTUS.
