I was in the 96th Percentile last year with my bracket, and wasn't close to a perfect bracket. Missed like 7-8 games. Perfect bracket would be insane.

It definitely would be insane. I mean years like when #15 Lehigh knocked off Duke. Seriously, who would ever pick that game other than some duke hater?

How many variations did they make? People that make more than 1 bracket shouldn't count for this.

My cousin's friend's brother's sister's friend's sister did the same thing. Picked the right scores and everything.

It's been done. Probably not by someone who only made one though.

I can guarantee a perfect bracket April 1, 2014. As matter of fact, I can give you March Madness' perfection for the past 5 years
