    You think there is a perfect bracket after tonight?

    I will eat my hat if there is a perfect bracket in America after tonight.

    Has there ever been a perfect bracket ?

    These books offering a million for it are a joke.

    i dont think so. I think that autistic kid last year was the closest anyone has ever gotten. He still had one after UNI upset Kansas and stuff...pretty sure he had one until the elite 8

    Think about it this way.

    There are 63 matchups in the NCAA tournament, not counting play-in games. If we assume that a #1 seed will not lose to a #16 seed, then we have 59 matchups to pick correctly. You have a 1/(2^59) chance, or 1 in 5.76 * 10^17 chance of making a perfect bracket. To put that in perspective, the odds of winning Mega Millions is 1 in 135145920, or approximately 1 in 10^8. You have a better chance of winning the lottery twice than you have of making a perfect bracket.

    I would have a perfect bracket if i used pencil. No way and 1 million is way to little they should be offering 100 mil for a perfect bracket but either way it wouldnt matter because no one would win it lol odds are 1^63 or one in nine-million-trillion.

    Why spend the time even doing these. It like a lottery ticket. I spent hours researching bracketologists, going over each game, and my bracket is a farce. A complete waste of time filling it out every year. I had 15 bracket entries from dsi alone to fill out
