How many perfect March Madness brackets are left after Day 1 on ESPN, Yahoo and more
As we get set for the rest of March Madness, we can safely say that it’s amazing that there are any perfect brackets out there.
After all, the odds of a completely perfect bracket are soooo high, so you can imagine after Day 1 that going 16-0 is near-impossible given the upsets, although Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has a perfect bracket so far.
So: how are everyone’s brackets doing as of Friday morning? Great question.
The NCAA reports the number is less than 1 percent (!). ESPN says it’s got just 1,825 out of over 22 million brackets that are perfect, and Yahoo says they have 116 left. WOW!
