According to the NCAA, the closest any person has ever gotten to filling out a perfect bracket came in 2019, when an Ohio man got the first 49 picks correct. His streak was broken after the Sweet 16, which is the longest streak since the NCAA began tracking brackets online in 2016.
However, the NCAA admits that there could possibly have been a perfect bracket somewhere since 1985, when the NCAA men’s tournament grew to 64 teams. Many people fill out their brackets on paper or don’t document their picks on public domains, making it difficult to track those brackets.
Will this be the year someone fills out a perfect March Madness bracket, or even breaks the 2019 record of 49 correct picks in a row?
