If you figure that 5 or 6 of the 16 were givens (i.e. pencil in the 1's and 2's winning), that leaves you with 10 contested matchups.
Now go blind monkey and pick at random. 1 in 1024 chance you get all 10 right. There are millions of brackets out there, so it's bound to happen. Add onto that that the picks are not random, and it can easily happen...and happen lots of times.

16 games is not really a large #. I believe on ESPN someone called the first 3 rounds right or something like that last year. It is just a matter of trusting your instincts. Dont always listen to the experts they dont always know. You also have to be a bit reckless to do that.

This years first round was pretty straight foreward....only one upset, and it was probably picked by quite a few people. It's not that uncommon when there are limited upsets. Remember, there are literally thousands and thousands of people picking, so some are bound to get it right. Heck, someone even hits the lotto every now and then!!

Research and a little bit of luck. I got 15 right and the one I got wrong, Oral Roberts and Washington St, Oral Roberts was winning the enitre first half.

The first 16 games weren't that hard to pick... not that I got them all right :)... there was only one big upset in Duke losing to VCU - but Duke sucked the entire season so that was easy to predict...

There was only one upset. It's not that difficult. Last year I got the first 30 games right.

They obviously did not listen to the "experts" who said Stanford was a dark horse. I, unfortunately, did.

even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while...people win the lottery too and the odds are way worse...
