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!

Bijan Robinson went a perfect 16/16 today. Only 1,825 of 22,112,822 brackets in ESPNâs Bracket Challenge are still perfect.
