I think that percentage represents all brackets, no? No way only 24.5% of this board is smart enough to pick UConn.

Appears so.
 
Going to be tougher to win this year because so many people are going to take Connecticut all the way. In our past championships I pulled away at the end. Now I actually feel like I'm going have to pick early round upsets.

I agree, I got Stetson over UConn. And easy win. I will not lose sleep over it.
 
UConn is at 24.7%. That might be some kind of record.

For the handful of Boneyards (5%) who did not pick UConn, don't let the door hit ya! :D

Miss St down 20-8 in first half. My bracket is busted.
 
143 people in the BY group picked UConn. 5 schmucks picked someone else.

Same, and my BYU pick is not looking good. May be 0-2 in the first 2 games.
 
Wow - only 7 of 151 picked the first two correctly. I'm 0-2.

You have a ton of company. I got Dukes right but had Miss St, so 1-2 and I'm in the 84.6% percentile. Which would imply only 15% got even one right.

I haven’t picked UConn to win a game in my bracket since they got upset by San Diego in 2008. Been picking them to lose their first game for the mojo ever since (and it’s worked pretty well!)

I joined, Uconn over Purdue

Zona, Duke the other two FF.

Unc, Creighton, Illinois, elite 8

Houston, Marquette, Iowa st and auburn s16

Boise or Colorado, Samford, Oregon, Colorado St, James Madison, drake,New Mexico, Charleston key upset picks.

Msu will get a win to "justify" committee and play closer than expected vs unc before losing.

You did Elite 7 that’s tough
 
Picked McNeese to beat the Zags. I'm so bad at picking upsets. My coin flip bracket is doing as well as my own picks -- 10-6.
 
Why do they make these Guys call 3 straight games? I'm sure Bill, Grant and Ian wouldn't mind a break.

I went 15-1 in the Women's Bracket, and I'm tied for 16,000

That's a lot of perfect brackets
 
I lost my fire icon on ESPN sometime around 8pm. But JMU gave it back to me. 18-6 so far, just over 1 millionth place, but that's 4 million better than I was around 8pm. More importantly, entire EE remains intact.

It's actually not even that high historically. A quarter of all brackets picked UConn back in 2011. That's the power of the BET

I'm the opposite. I picked a lot of upsets right but my deep teams have killed me already (esp. Kentucky).

Not a bad pick. Zags are not that good this year. I mean, the Aztecs beat them at home. I do have the zags though.
 
Apparently neither of my brackets updated and I only have 2 rounds on both. Went through and even picked final points which are there but every team after round 2 has disappeared. I can see they weren't going to be great anyway. Lol

That's the way it looks when you view it which is strange. It populates the actual winners and the later rounds are blank, but it does show "My Pick" above the blank spots in each future game . Strange way to display I guess. You can click on ""Print Bracket" and it will show all your picks
 
woot! In 4-way tie for 1st in BY group. My entire EE and 3 BE + Baylor FF is still intact.
 
My other bracket is in the 99.9 percentile on espn, sadly not the one I used for the BY.
 
While I get to enjoy being tied for 1st in the ESPN BY bracket until Thursday, the reality is that I'm pretty much out of it unless AZ loses their next game. Baylor did me in - had them in FF. So my ceiling is much lower than the dude I'm tied with. And w/o going thru all the nearest competitors, I'm assuming a lot of them also have Creighton and Marquette joining us in the FF.
