So what does this say about how Obama has changed over time? Should we ought to take his sports predictions as indications of his temperament?

Obama's 2015 bracket marks a return to his conservative style of NCAA picks. As usual, he has selected few upsets -- his notable exception being Buffalo, a 12-seed, to upset No. 5 West Virginia in the opening round -- and has placed three No. 1 seeds in his Final Four.

Obama loosened up a bit in 2013, picking No. 3 seed Florida for the Final Four. The president picked his riskiest bracket in 2014, predicting that No. 4 Louisville and Michigan State both reach the Final Four. Neither team made it, and those picks worked about as well for the president did during the 2014 midterms.

So after a brief flirtation with risky picks, Obama has reverted to his pragmatic style of selecting few upsets and predicting the top-ranked teams to make the Final Four.

Here's how the president's brackets have evolved over the years:

It was 1s and 2s again for Obama in '12. Played it safe, just like he did by running against Romney's biz record. pic.twitter.com/y4ZUNVhp4M

His wildest bracket, 2014 saw Obama put two 4-seeds in the Final Four. Unfortunately, neither made it. pic.twitter.com/H36bOQiqgI
