    I don't think it's ever happened Vegas, do you have a link?

    There's usually a story about someone claiming to be perfect or whatever, but I've never seen a verified perfect bracket that was actually filled out before the tournament.

    http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2013/03/12/o...ntillion-to-1/

    (CBS) Ever wonder if you could pick a perfect bracket?
    Don’t count on it. According to Jeff Bergen, DePaul University professor of mathematics and a lifelong collegiate basketball fan, if you knew nothing about basketball and randomly filled out a bracket, your odds would be 9.2 quintillion to one.
    Now, if you know a little about basketball, your odds greatly increase, but they are still 128 billion to one. To put that into perspective, Bergen says that if every single person in America had basketball knowledge and filled out a bracket, there would still only be one quarter of one percent chance that someone would have a perfect bracket.


    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...5084112AAW5bjc

    Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

    Far smaller than 100,000 to 1.

    From a strict standpoint of picking 64 out of 64 games (63 games in the tournament plus the one play-in game), the odds of picking all 64 games would be about 1.84x 10^19 to 1... however, that only assumes a 50/50 chance of picking each individual game... it does not take into account that some early round game are more likely to be won by the higher seed (no #16 has ever knocked off a #1, for example)... and those straight odds also do not account for any possibility of upsets later on.

    Think about how many people around the country have been playing the brackets every year for the past "X" years... millions upon millions of people, playing every single year... yet, no one's ever picked all 63 or 64 games perfectly.

    Vegas, I remember that one, and he didn't actually even do that.

    He didn't fill it out before the tournament

    that was the one I was thinking of when you said perfect bracket.

    Some dumbass writer put the story out without verifying it, and it spread to a bunch of websites. Great story. Autistic kid has it perfect through two rounds. Then people eventually realized it was bogus, but it was too late.

    I can fill out a perfect bracket for last year's tournament.

    2007 ESPN pool had a contestant hit 59 and not win the pool (pts increase each round) a 58 had more later round picks.

    2009 ESPN pool winner had 58 right.

    oh yeah jayski is a must have, if u dont already have info...i dont use it much anymore, but its the 1 of the best known sites there is, if not the most widely known besides nascar.com....espn promotes it

    when i use to pay close attention to sessions, i would use it alot more....

    was great for off-season paint schemes this season for new car, i liked that

    its a must have site if u dont have alot of that stuff, at least imo

    and like Vegas said, entry list its the BEST and easiest place to find those....and either there or mrn is the best place to fins avgs of sessions if u like seeing that, which i still have to look at that 10-lap times....basically is u have jayski and mrn, its really the only sites u need for nascar information....and really either or

    and thanks for the lap #, that was right around the final restart i think...still impressive cause it WAS on older tires
