    THREE UNBLEMISHED BRACKETS REMAIN

    After losses by Michigan State and Temple, there are just three perfect brackets among the 13 million brackets in ESPN's Tournament Challenge.

    One guy picked Cincinatti to win it and another picked West Virginia.



    Guy who picked Kansas might have a shot.

      Idiots should not fill brackets. Cincinnati? Might as well donate to charity.

            Definitely computer generated picks. Did that with all of my brackets. No point in putting more effort into this than Sarah in Accounting.

                                Could one aspire to collude with all remaining teams to fix games and end up with the highly improbable perfect bracket? I've heard Warren Buffet was offering a billion for it.

                                    No, because for less than 1 billion dollars Buffet can conspire with the NCAA to make sure that nobody gets a perfect bracket.

                                      great point!

                                      Just curious, how quickly would Mr. Buffet notice the fact something fishy is happening and start planning his move?

                                        He would have had his bases covered before the tournament ever began.

                                          not sure if the math is right...but some guy on the radio was saying a perfect bracket is like winning the powerball....on consecutive drawings.

                                          not sure if that's correct...but it wouldn't surprise me.

                                            When Buffet and Quicken loans gave that offer in the past there were constant long shot calculations of a perfect bracket. I think, but am not sure, that all of those calculations assumed each team had a 50% of moving forward and then the scenarios were added up from there.

                                            We all know the odds of some teams getting out of some rounds are either far better, or far worse, than 50-50.

                                            It seems to me that to calculate the probability of a perfect bracket would have to depend on the teams playing, etc. and that it would be different each year. Or maybe the probabilites even out by the end, or maybe I'm not considering a few things.

                                            I haven't thought too hard about it...lol.

                                              I got a notification saying Marylands win busted the remaining 3 brackets.

                                              Weird that such an obvious favorite would bust em.

                                                    My wife won a tourney a few years ago. She picked the teams based on what jerseys looked better. She had a 15 beating a 2 and I was like, no way, you can't pick that team. There is no way they're going to win. They won by 20 points.

                                                        I don't get it. The guy at the top is Will_harv 1. It says he's at 100%, but if you look at his bracket he picked Purdue who lost to Little Rock.

                                                              The odds of hitting perfect bracket is like 1 in 9 quintillion. Picking 63 straight winners would virtually be impossible let alone moving winners forward predicting their win vs a future opponent that you had to predict right as well . And I did hear that it would be like winning powerball back to back.
