Rounding out the rest of the president’s Final Four picks are Florida, Louisville and Ohio State.  

Obama seemed pretty confident about his selections.

“I’m feeling good,” he told ESPN’s Andy Katz.  “I’m ready to win some money here.”

On the women’s side, Obama selected Baylor, Connecticut, Notre Dame and California for his Final Four teams.  The president’s full women’s bracket will be unveiled on Friday.

The basketball-loving president has filled out brackets for the NCAA men’s basketball tournament each year he has been president, but his track record has been mixed. 

Last year, he correctly selected two teams — Kentucky and Ohio State — who made it to the Final Four, but in 2010 and 2011, he didn’t pick any of the Final Four teams.  In 2009, Obama correctly picked the team to win it all — University of North Carolina. 

Obama first filled out a bracket for the women’s tournament in 2010.
