Tourney Pick 'Em

[ShoxFan963]

I'm braggin again. #1 right now. But I can only win 2 more games on my bracket.

You would think if you pick a perfect elite 8 that you could get more than one game correct in the final 4. :banghead: I am getting that spot back!

Watch out for the Tar Heels! 8)

I'm 23rd right now, but using Yahoo's Scenario Generator, I'll end up 5th if North Carolina wins out.

The way I see it, if North Carolina loses it's next game I will be the champion. If UConn wins and Carolina loses one of its next 2 games then I win.

Even the top person on all of Yahoo didnt have a perfect bracket. 8)

I think the leader on ESPN missed about four games but they were in the first and second round. Cleveland State and Michigan State were big spoilers this year.

I don't know that I've every seen a perfect bracket...Maybe once on ESPN, but can't remember for sure. Of course you can use some common sense and sports knowledge to reduce the number of brackets, but there are a total of 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 possible brackets. A couple of examples of how many this is (that I pulled from some random sites):

If all possible brackets were stacked on top of each other (on standard paper), the pile would reach from the moon and back over 1.1 million times.

Assume on the day the universe was formed (approximately 20 billion years ago) that 6.6 billion people (the world’s current population) would have each started filling out one bracket per second; as of today they would completed less than 10% of all possible brackets.

-------------------

In the 2 brackets I played in I scored 129 and 149. Both scores were good enough for 1st place winning$$$. :)

Now you place it all in a context, which I can understand. Sorta like PowerBall squared.

Thanks.
