So ur saying there’s a chance
This comment made my day!
@@heartman6314 gave me a chuckle :)
Thats what i say when a girl tells me "No, absolutely not, under so circumstances would I ever do that with you."
Dumb and dumber quote lol
Best. Comment. Ever.

We’re talking about you Virginia
Virginia getting bounced in the 2nd round. Never trust them
@@TheFlowBrothers FFAAACT, I STRAIGHT BEEN PREACHING THIS
Let’s go Gardner Webb!!
@@TheFlowBrothers Keep in mind they played without Deandre Hunter in the tournament last year, his defensive presence is imitable, and they have only lost 3 games all year with 2 of those being Duke with a healthy Zion Williamson.
And it’s happening again
Is that your grain of sand?
*"lol no"*
Harrison Justis 😂😂😂 I knew I wasn’t the only one who seen that
1,000th like.
who tf has counted all the sand
Jackson Halla no one, it’s just a estimated hypothesis done by scientists. U really think someone counted all the sand 😂😂
Lololololol
Scientist Sandy B. Eaches did in the 20s.
nick butzler r/woooosh
Chuck Norris
Nah I checked over my bracket 6 times I think I got a legit shot this year
*Duke loses first round
never mind
I say that every year😂
Should I tell him or can some one else?
As long as the Noles are in the final four it’s perfect
Jimmy Butler nah let him be
ron from accounting swears he's had a perfect bracket back in '99

Literally all y’all gotta do is raise the limit from 25 brackets to 9.2 quintillion options
i just make mulitple accounts. This year i did a family bracket group, there are about 70 brackets in it and 50 are mine lol
Yeah now you could just multiply 64x6 to find the possible outcomes bam done I'm a smurty
@Alex Berman its harder than that. all 80 brackets in my family contest were busted by the 9th game tonight. You gotta make like 50 million to have a chance...
L it wouldn’t take you that many years, plus programs run much faster than one per second.
@@pandachong7942 even 100 in a second would take 292k years to fill in every possible icon, I dont think your brackets will be relevant in the year 294,019
4:05 Virginia fans punching the air right now
Lol
Adam klimala_2212750 never say never 🤣
Never trust Virginia
If it happens 2 years in a row, Virginia just needs to quit men’s basketball
Adam klimala_2212750 not looking good so far
That 42/63 seems high for the average user.
Not sure how, but I got a 17 seed in my final four... still pretty sure I’ll have that perfect bracket!
How can you have a perfect bracket with a fake seed ?
Ev Nick r/whoooosh
You know what? I got a 18 seed in beat that
I have a 69th seed winning it all
Actually the 420th seed is taking it home
That so funny seeing the one time a one seed lost and all I can think about is UMBC and Virginia
*Middle Tennessee flashbacks intensifies*
Liam McElroy exactly what I was thinking 😂😂😂
Not only loss a total beat down.
@@liammcelroy3741 better then being in the nit
SW4G Nesquik RIP Michigan State but don’t worry my Virginia boys will clean up Texas Tech
I predict that the Final Four will consist only of 16 seeds.
no idea how but I got Russia in the final four...
Nah i got Australia
Wow. How could you possibly know? This aged perfectly.
Basically he's saying, theres no chance.
But there's still technically a chance. A very very small one.
I like those odds.
Someone got one in 2015
@@roastbeef9993 I think you should re-watch the beginning.
@@roastbeef9993 the best perfect streak is actually this year so far. 1 person has guessed all of the current games perfectly 48 straight. Pretty impressive
"135 out of 136 1 seeds have moved on to the second round"
Virginia: *visible sweating*
UMBC: *Happily slobbering*
Now Purdue is sweating
@@browniesaresuperior4496 The joke doesn't work as FDU's mascot is a Knight and UMBC is literally a dog.
My 2020 bracket was absolutely perfect.
No team lost a game that year! 😉 pretty easy to predict.
Man you’re good. I had COVID eliminated first round but they went on to win it all.
Okay, I am getting a perfect one anyway due to me being better than everyone
Should I break it to him, or should someone else
@@masoncoppess7085 Do the honors,
Will you still be saying that after the first round?
You wont win bro, but hate to break it to you
@@masoncoppess7085 r/whoosh
People claim time traveling is real. My question is if it was real why haven't we had a perfect bracket yet
we had one time
It would just be too obvious at that point.
Even Biff in Back to the Future 2 knew better than to make a perfect bracket.
Then again, the current 64 team 6 round bracket just started in the early 80s. So maybe there just wasn't as much money to be made betting on march madness until a few years after 1985a.
One day in 2065 someone will get a perfect bracket and everyone will flood this video with “this aged well” 😂
It’s actually 50% odds, either you get a perfect bracket, or you don’t
Exactly
Bro cooked
The problem is that if someone ever gets a perfect bracket everyone is going to accuse the tournament of being rigged
Especially when there's a billion $ on the line like there was a few years ago
You mean time traveler 🤣
Farleigh Dickinson is winning it all change my mind
I’m with u.😂
I have that in one of my brackets 😁✊
Iona is winning it all. Change MY Mind
Obviously prairie view is winning it all. Duh.
Dave the GOAT you realize Prairie View lost to Fairleigh Dickinson?
So you’re telling me there’s a chance.
YYYYEEEAAAAHHH!!!!
POV: You got this recommended after there were 0 perfect brackets left after the round of 64
So your saying there’s a chance.
Jordan Bradshaw love that movie
Andy bailey dude it’s a joke and it’s from a movie you are dumb
@@hofghost2456 it'd have been funny if you said your dumb the second time
Stole the comment and used “your” to say “you are” instead of “you’re”

“Siri, what is ten trillion to the tenth power?”
Grayson Poage she actually does it
Jack in Black haha yeah I know. I was saying that the guy sounds like her saying it at 4:40
Grayson Poage he knows as well, that’s why he said what he said.

The thing that really screws you in these brackets (and makes it hard to calculate the odds of predicting the tournament correctly) is that you don't pick every game in a vacuum. If you pick a team to go to the Final Four and they lose in the round of 32, the sweet sixteen and elite eight games involving that team are automatically wrong for you.
Not necessarily. Most backet challenges (including the ncaa one) give you much more points if you pick the winner of a later round game correct.
For this reason, brackets that stayed perfect the longest didn't always win the contest.
@@Knightmessenger I think you need to reread what I wrote lol
Don’t watch College Basketball at all
I just picked the cooler name honestly
If they both sounded cool I just looked at which team had a better rank
Got a hunch my bracket is gonna be perfect this year.
i've got coronavirus for my winner
It’s especially hard when the tourney is cancelled
At 5:50 why is one zero not bolded?
Colin C Easter eggs, like the darts.
oof
the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
nice
That was my senior quote. I regret nothing!
Yes the floor here is made out of floor,
*therefore it is floor*
I mean... To get a perfect bracket, you account for every player, every variable, and make hard calculations for upsets. The best you can hope for is a decent 88% accuracy bracket.
It’s 100% chance of getting it right if you cheat
Not really
6:59 You see that dart in the corner? Well that dart is actually me. Your probably wondering how I ended up in this wacky situation.
It all started 2 years ago when i was in a car driving then...
Trash cans
Odds of filling out a correct bracket? Four. Who gets the reference?
McDonald’s?
Its always 42
I calling it this year. UMBC comes outta nowhere and takes out Virginia.
Hehe
Dispite this, I still think SOMEONE is going to guess perfectly.
If the world and the brackets keep existing in the next 100 years, someone will, but I probably will not be alive to see it.
Grand Admiral Thrawn despite*
Eventually
Enjoyed the statistical dive - thank you!
POV: You're here to console yourself after losing your perfect bracket on day 1
It’s very possible. I just gotta get a sports encyclopedia from the future, just like Biff did in Back to the Future 2.
anyone here in 21 with one of the craziest tournaments ever
Well when a 15 seed beats a two seed Ohio state you see why people can’t guess all of these games right...
Great video!
Oprah: You get a perfect bracket! You get a perfect bracket! You're all getting perfect brackets!!!!!
If have a perfect bracket and only the championship game hasn’t been played yet I would bet half of the prize of getting a perfect bracket on the team that I picked to lose🤷🏿♂️
Whaider 12 are you the real Stefan diggs
I like how the people who are advertising these brackets are telling you that they are legit impossible 😂😂
This is why pencils have erasers. Thanks to pencil technology, we can always pick the perfect bracket each time.
*erases wrong picks and writes in correct ones*
See? Easy!
I'm just waiting for a smart guy to code a program that automatically makes brackets 24/7 and eventually gets a perfect one
Pretty sure you have to pay money to submit each bracket.
@n0ame1u1
Nah it’s “free”
But they probably do sell your history like every other website on the internet tho
That’s probably what they are hoping for,
It’s been sponsored by Google Cloud, Warren Buffett, Capital One, etc.
So if anyone is able to consistently get perfect brackets, there would be *MANY* people offering that person jobs in data analysis
BEST.... VIDEO.... EVER!!!!!!!!!
Thought watching this would help me get the perfect bracket.... but left with a life lesson that not everyone’s perfect but never hurts to try😂
Definitely have the perfect bracket now 👌
Booooooo!
Everyone is saying that and it's just not going to happen. Liberty is beating MS St though
Ur high
@@henryryan4196 nah
Update: it’s over... bracket busted 😭
I'm gonna make a bracket of every possibility and win that $$$$
I got a perfect bracket obviously
Are u the real tom brady
That’s gronkowski
Are you guys joking or
Are you guys telling me hes the real gronkowski? wow
Wait up are you sure gronkowski is white?
4:01 I actually did this in the 2019 March Madness in my pool and won $128.
At 1:05 they use UNC vs Duke as an example which took me off guard because that's a final 4 game this year. I'm making this comment a few days before the game so idk who wins lol but imma put UNC here
Thumbnail 10/10
You forgot to consider the first four round of the final four.(the wildcard games of the March madness tournament).
No one cares about those. There is no reason to acknowledge they or the Fab Five ever existed.
Someone on Yahoo has 40 right now. Tennessee against Iowa could be 41.
I have a flip a coin bracket this year.
I flipped a coin for every game and ended up with Creighton going all the way!
Now lemme hear the odds of guessing EVERY game in the regular season correctly for every team
Rice beat ucsb, no one would have got that, coming from a UCSB fan
the 11 dislikes are virginia fans

What were saying?
Just calculate how many different brackets u can possibly make... them make them... BOOM!
This is a crazy video, very cool
Jokes on you, I fill up my bracket after the winner is decided. 👍🏼
Anthony Castillo lol
So you’re saying I have a better chance of picking a specific grain of sand out of all the sand in the world than I do of making a perfect bracket😂😭
Moosa Syed yeah me too. I have every 16 seed in the final four which I’m sure will be right.
Moosa Syed 👍🏻👍🏻
What are the odds of picking out the correct NCAA Divsion I, II, III brackets for both men's and women's draws, the NIT, and the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) tournament combined!
can you get a full game of 2015 NCAA basketball championship
POV your here after Ohio state lost
This girl in my class a few years back won both the boys and girls bracket, but since it was one we filled in class, she didn’t get any money🤦♂️
I don't even watch college ball but this video has got me pondering about what life really is. Go Heat
Great statistics lessons for my students!
anyone here in 2021 when a perfect bracket was impossible after the second round smh
So you’re saying there’s a chance
I actually laughed out loud at that exponent joke.
I didn't think I would have to do math over spring break and now my head hurts lol
I knew I should have made more than 3 brackets :/
So you're telling me, there's a chance
No
R/wooosh
.
3:01 lol
Pretty sure St Peter's in the S16 never even registered as a possibility 😄
Let me just say this if you can create unlimited brackets how has no one ever programmed something to make every single bracket combo
yes I thought of that also but it is probably only possible wit a NASA level computer and people that have access to those computers are probably doing more important things with their time than filling out brackets
I had a perfect bracket last year, called UMBC upset too, just didn’t submit online in time
Kappa
F off
Lie.
LEGIT i would choose the sparkly sand because u used soap to clean ur hands today lol ;)
1:43 fun fact: he used the same bracket in all of those.
A over B
C over D
E over F
G over H
A over C
E over G

This is basically like an astronomy video explaining to us simple humans how tiny and insignificant we are to the universe
The odds are zero if you think that Duke is gonna lose

@@shaunastorms729 no, what King jumpy is talking about was the time Warren Buffet issued a challenge where he would give 1 billion dollars to whoever gets a perfect bracket. Buffet only did one year back like 5 or 6 years ago. It is not still in effect.

The 149 people who disliked this are those who probably once Googled the question, went with the first answer they got, stubbornly held onto that notion, and then angrily left after 0:55
hey man, that wasn't very cool to throw shade
But they didn’t take in fact that teams of an advantage, meaning they have a higher percentage to win. Lol I wrote this before watching they did
I once had only 3 or 4 wrong after the first 2 rounds, but then I just fell apart in the sweet 16.
What are the chances of one section or quarter of your bracket being 100% cause 2 yrs ago I did it
If I remember correctly the first year I did a bracket challenge a guy made it to the Sweet 16.
Only issue? *It was a meme bracket.*
Especially this year
You don’t know excited I get seeing these videos in recommended. That means it’s almost time😈
Ditto.
Go gauchos
I think adding in a consolation side of the bracket would be interesting
