Here Are Obama's Final Four Picks
He unveiled his Final Four on "SportsCenter" Tuesday night: No. 1 overall seed Florida, No. 1 seed Arizona, No. 4 seed Michigan State, and No. 4 seed Louisville. Despite the inclusion of two No. 4 seeds, this is a relatively common Final Four pick - the consensus is that Louisville was badly underseeded and Michigan State is hitting its stride after winning the Big Ten tournament.
"These are not imaginative picks," Obama told ESPN's Andy Katz. "But I think they're the right ones."
Obama's bracket last year ranked in the 74.4th percentile out of more than 8 million brackets on ESPN.com. He'll release the rest of his bracket during the 9 a.m. hour of "SportsCenter." But from what was shown during the unveiling of his Final Four picks, it doesn't look like there will be much more surprise.
Aside from the two No. 4 seeds, he has the two No. 1 seeds, three No. 2 seeds (Kansas, Wisconsin, Villanova) and a No. 3 seed (Duke) in the Elite Eight.
