President Barack Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan are making their March Madness picks known.
Obama picked a "safe" bracket, reports ABC News, listing Kansas, Kentucky, Kansas State and Villanova as his top men's choices.
Obama's men's and women's Final Four lineups are full of safe, high-seeded picks rather than upset Cinderellas.
The Kansas men's squad is the top team going into this week's tournament and Kentucky is also a #1 seed. Kansas State and Villanova come in as #2 seeds. His bracket is likely to match many March Madness participants.
Basketball enthusiast Duncan hasn't filled out a bracket, but expressed his support for Kansas senior point guard Sherron Collins. "He's a kid I've played with since he was a freshman in high school," Duncan told USA Today. "He's a winner. I watched him mature, and I've seen what he's accomplished."
