The excitement of the NCAA Men's and Women's March Madness tournaments has led to a dramatic dwindling of perfect brackets. Initially, more than 22 million brackets were submitted for the Men's Tournament on ESPN alone. After a series of upsets, including notable losses by Kentucky, Auburn, Yale, and Colorado, the number of perfect brackets sharply decreased. By the end of the first day, only a fraction of brackets remained perfect, with the men's tournament seeing a reduction to zero perfect brackets after TCU's loss to Utah State. On the women's side, despite a high initial number of entries, only about 20,000 perfect brackets remained out of approximately four million. The drastic reduction in perfect brackets highlights the unpredictable nature of the tournament and the difficulty in making accurate predictions.
