Former President George H. W. Bush picks A&M to win the NCAA Tournament

Friendly reminder: nobody cares about your NCAA Tournament bracket.

That is, unless you were the 41st President of the United States. In that case, then sites like ours will write entire stories about your bracket.

Our 44th President, Barack Obama, made Presidential Bracketology popular when he started filling out his bracket with ESPN's Andy Katz during a segment they called "Barack-etology." And while he didn't repeat it with Katz this year, he did tweet his full bracket for the world to see:

To his credit, he picked A&M to take down Providence in the first round. However, that's where his bracket goes wildly off the rails, as he picked North Carolina to eliminate the Ags in the Round of 32. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, SIR.

Enter 41.

Undeterred by the potentially gigantic home court dis-advantage A&M would have facing North Carolina in North Carolina, Bush stuck to his guns and took the Aggies alllllll the way through the West Region and onto the Final Four in San Antonio.

His path has the Ags taking down Providence, North Carolina, Michigan, Xavier, Virginia and Villanova on their way to glory. That would be ... quite something.

Gig 'em, Mr. President 👍

That would be a magic trick worthy of David Copperfield.

You have to admire the optimism.

I hope he's better at predicting hoops than presidential elections.

Some teams should be nervous... he is a former CIA director after all.

It's so weird.

We could lose to Providence.

But if we win the first game, A&M actually has more talent than UNC this year...and that bracket has some open field running.

41.

It's kind of sad how he's lost so much of his mental capacity. The Aggies did look good today though, for sure.
