The number most commonly cited for a perfect bracket is misleading: it's based on random selections.

But even the best math in the world still puts you in impossible territory.

Upsets happen every year. They will happen this year, too. But predicting which ones will happen ahead of time is a mathematically impossible task - literally. Even the most well-informed stats nerd can only get you to a ONE-IN-TWO TRILLION CHANCE at a perfect bracket.
