To put how crazy this number is, there are around 1,500 people that live in my home town. That’s nearly triple the number of people out of more than 17 million people that accurately got the Final Four. Obviously, Loyola coming in and causing mass chaos didn’t exactly help people maintain perfect brackets.
That’s the crazy part about this whole tournament. Michigan, Villanova and Kansas all were legit Final Four teams going into the tournament. I had Michigan and Nova in the Final Four in two different brackets. I know lots of people also had Kansas in the Final Four.
I honestly thought at least a few thousand people would get the Final Four perfect. Out of 17 million? It just seems like that’s so many people to only yield 550 perfect Final Four teams. What a wild March Madness we’ve had this year.
