Perfection has been achieved — and not just for 16-0 Indiana.
The No. 1 Hoosiers' 27-21 win Monday night against No. 10 Miami (Fla.) not only secured a perfect season, it also meant 12 brackets finished perfect in krikyalotto.com's College Football Bracket Challenge Game. Eleven games, 11 correct picks.
Indiana was the most popular national champion pick this year in the CFBCG, with 28.1 percent of brackets having the Hoosiers winning it all. But Miami's unexpected run to the title game eliminated many brackets, as only 2.72 percent of brackets had the Hurricanes reaching the championship game. In fact, 85.88 percent of brackets had either No. 2 Ohio State or No. 3 Georgia in the championship game — and neither team made even the semifinals.
Here's how we got to the final, perfect 12 brackets:
- No. 9 Alabama def. No. 8 Oklahoma — 52 percent remain perfect
- No. 10 Miami (Fla.) def. No. 7 Texas A&M — 16.8 percent remain perfect
- No. 6 Ole Miss def. No. 11 Tulane — 13.7 percent remain perfect
