56 entries nationwide on ESPN picked all 16 winners yesterday. Wow. Wonder if any of them will get through today unscathed. Odds are pretty low.

Or how many different accounts they have entered into the contest.

That would take a LOT of accounts.

Just for yesterday, there were 65536 possible combinations of results. For the first round, there would be 4,294,967,296 possible outcomes.

Sure you could eliminate some of the games as "obvious" but which ones and how many??? There were some big upsets. Even if you elimiate a large number of the most obvious games, you're still at millions of combinations.

As for the entire tourney, there are 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 possible combinations.

I don't think anyone will be setting up that many accounts, even with some hacking involved.

Watch out for New Mexico St vs. Mich St. That should be a good game. NMSU is a sleeper team. They had good player out for half the year and now that he's back the team has been rolling.

Well, having that 16 seed upset special will put you way out in front if it comes to pass.

I didn't want to put them in the final four, but Dicky V made me do it.
