Number of perfect brackets dwindles closer to zero after Saturday’s March Madness games
Posted/updated on: March 23, 2025 at 7:02 am
It’s the end of the line for perfect brackets on Yahoo Sports. Same with CBS Sports.
With Michigan’s 91-79 win over Texas A&M on Saturday night, the final perfect Yahoo Sports bracket was shredded. Poor Shawno had been correct on every pick with his Grand Bracket until the fifth-seeded Wolverines sent the fourth-seeded Aggies home.
CBS Sports lost its last perfect bracket with Saturday night’s games, including No. 6 seed BYU’s two-point win over third-seeded Wisconsin and Texas Tech’s 77-64 win over No. 11 seed Drake.
The NCAA’s platform was down to 3 perfect brackets out of 34 million. That’s 0.000000008% for those of you who can’t do the math.
ESPN’s tracker still listed a few perfect brackets out of 24.3 million — three, to be exact.
Creighton was listed as ESPN’s top bracket buster after its 89-75 win over Louisville in Thursday’s first game, knocking out 13,339,089.
On the other end of the spectrum, ESPN reported that every pick was wrong on 30 of its brackets — a nearly impossible feat in its own right even if a contestant were trying to pick all losers.
