Someone will do it someday.

A perfect bracket has to be obtainable.

If each game is a coinflip, the odds against getting the whole tourney right are around 9,000,000,000,000,000,000:1. If you pick correctly 2/3 of the time, it's closer to 125,000,000,000:1. If you pick correctly 3/4 of the time, that's around 75,000,000:1.

That girl is 16/16 on the 16 first round games today. She picked the Milwaukee upset and the UAB upset.

She's either very lucky or very good, and I'm leaning towards very lucky. So are the rest of people that predicted both of those, although the UAB upset was a lot less surprising than the Milwaukee one.

I thought the 5-12 upset was going to be Villanova-NM for sure. Now I hope it doesn't happen.

Here's my theory though: with millions of people entering on the site, a few are going to manage to predict all 16 right, and a couple are going to do the entire bracket right.

Nobody will get the entire bracket right.

Whoa, I should have bothered to read the whole OP of this thread. It's weird, I checked the leaderboard right before I made that post, and it did not give me the same results it's showing now. Apparently quite a few people picked all 16.

I'm also 15/16 losing only the cincy-Iowa matchup. I picked Wisconsin -Mil. because I mistook them for Wisconsin-GB which was a 5-12 upset like 8 to 10 years ago in the first pool I ever played in.

I think that St. Mary's will pull the upset on the Salukis.
