Yeah, crazy!

That being said, there are 9.2 QUINTILLION possible combinations, and even if you remove some of the outliers, there are about 128 billion realistic combinations, so a perfect bracket is a near impossibility.

According to Wiki answers (so take it with a grain of salt) there is no documented case of anyone ever filling out a perfect bracket.

Nope....probably wouldn't want to. They are probably not allowed to win!
