Bracket Buster: We're almost out of perfect brackets already

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

So, about your busted bracket. You're not alone.

With two of the tournament's first three games resulting in enormous upsets, there were very few players left with brackets in good shape. It's probably for the best, really, as everyone was able to just light their brackets on fire and enjoy a really fun day of games.

After 13 more games, some players somehow remain perfect, 16-of-16, despite multiple upsets and a record-setting five one-point games.

  • At ESPN, 273-of-11.6 million brackets remain perfect, down from 18,471 out of 11 million after the first day in 2014.
  • At Yahoo, 374-of-3.3 million brackets are still without red ink.
    • It gets crazier - three people have perfect brackets and didn't fill out the bracket entirely, 16-of-16 without a champion picked. Yikes.
  • At CBS, 50 brackets remain perfect, but the total number of brackets submitted is being reported inconsistently.

If you're among that small handful of people, congratulations. And your bracket is going down in short order, so you'll be right there with the rest of us.
