What's the best bracket you've ever filled out for March Madness?

My senior year of high school I had a perfect first day (maybe I missed one game) and the second day I only got 3 or 4 games right. Such a promising start.

A year or two ago I was ranked in the top 15% for the first few rounds on Yahoo and promptly fell apart.

Last year I finished 25h or so in Bovada's bracket challenge (had Kentucky in the finals somehow). Won $100 off a free entry.

I've normally not done well even though I watch a ton of college hoops. I tend to over-think it.

I know someone that got 7 of 8 teams in the elite 8 and the final 4 and championship game right.

The year Davidson made their run with Steph Curry, I got that entire region correct. I ended up 4th out of 21,000 overall. I'm not sure I'll ever top that.

I've been filling out brackets for almost 2 decades and can't remember a single one. That's how good I am at picking them.

In 2011, I ended up in the top 99% on ESPN after UCONN won it all. I think I had my entire final four that year. Not sure I've been above 50% since then.

That year where all 4 number 1s made the final four was a good year because I for whatever reason choose all 4 to make it and got a perfect final/championship game. Don't remember anything else about that bracket.

I picked the championship game and national champion right in my first time filling out a bracket when I was 8 or 9

I always enter a lot of the online free brackets and about 6 years ago, I finished 3rd in a Buffalo Wild Wings contest....3rd for the W. Des Moines BDubs out of about 800 entries. 1st place got free wings for a year. 3rd got nothing. I have been in the top 5% of ESPN a few times. My 14 year old nephew won our 100 person contest last year and ranked 99.9% on ESPN....so he won our contest in easy fashion.

The year Florida won their 1st title(2006?) I pegged them. Of course that year was upset fest and I won the cash against about 20 guys with a total score that would a been horrific any other year. A win is a win!

the year both men's and women's UConn teams won I had them picked.....don't think the rest was too pretty.

The year IL did really well, I was a double OT away from having the perfect Final Four. Had IL, UNC, Louisville, and Kentucky. Michigan State took Kentucky to double OT. Hated MSU for a long time after that, ha.

Normally I would have picked UNC to win the whole thing, but that year I went against my better senses and took the homer pick. My strategy of picking based on pretty school names worked out well that year.


I think I was top ten in one of the CF pools last year or the year before.
