Less than 1 percent of NCAA brackets remain perfect after Georgia State upset

If you tell me your bracket is perfect after the first three games, I know you’re a liar.

There’s a reason they call it March Madness and there’s a reason why you have a better chance of winning the lottery while being struck by lightning and going out on a date with Kate Upton.

Three games in and there is already less than one percent of the NCAA brackets filled out on CBS that remain perfect. The tournament began with No. 3 Notre Dame narrowly avoiding the upset bid from No. 14 Northeastern, but that set the stage for some drama in the following two games.

No. 14 UAB stunned No. 3 Iowa State who was a popular pick to make it to the Final Four out of the South Region, but even if you were fortunate enough to pick the Blazers over the Cyclones, the chances of you doubling down and having No. 14 Georgia State upset No. 3 Baylor is next to zero.

SIMPLY INCREDIBLE.
Only three games down and 0.27% (!!!) of brackets remain perfect on the http://t.co/pHskMClGST Bracket Challenge.

So when you ask your buddy how his bracket is doing and he says he’s doing pretty good, you can call him out for straight up lying to your face, because the truth is we’re all screwed.

I’m convinced brackets were invented for the sole purpose of burning them by the end of the day on the first full day of the tournament.

But that’s why we love March Madness and why we keep coming back year after year to fill them out, because you never know when it is your year to win the pool and take home all that cash and have bragging rights over your friends, family and co-workers for a year.
