How did we end up with 12 perfect blocks in a college football blocking challenge?

Don’t wait any longer. The College Football Playoff continues. That means the brackets are locked in the NCAA.com College Football Bracket Challenge.

So how did people fill out their brackets?

No. 1 seed Indiana was the most popular championship choice, winning with 28.11 percent of the vote. That’s ahead of No. 2 Ohio State (25.33) and No. 3 Georgia State (21.67) and No. 4 Texas Tech’s 7.04 percent, which means more than 82 percent of the blocks have gone to one of the top four teams.

Here is the full review:

Team PERSONALITY SELECTED TO LEAD
#1 Indiana 28.11%
No. 2 Ohio State 25.33%
#3 Georgia 21.67%
No. 4 Texas Tech 7.04%
#5 Oregon 4.82%
#9 Alabama 3.55%
No. 7 Texas A&M 3.01%
No. 6 Ole Miss 1.68%
#8 Oklahoma 1.61%
#10 Miami (Fla.) 1.54%
No. 12 James Madison 1.15%
#11 Tulan 0.48%

Looking at the first round, one game was almost split down the middle: No. 8 Oklahoma vs. No. 9 Alabama. Earlier this season, the Sooners beat the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa, but Alabama won the rematch in the majority of the bracket: 50.39 to 49.61 percent. It was the first round match that came closest to filling out the bracket.

  • No. 8 Oklahoma at No. 9 Alabama: Alabama has a 50.39 percent shooting percentage.
  • No. 7 Texas A&M vs. No. 10 Miami (Fla.): Texas A&M won with 69.71 percent of the vote.
  • No. 6 Ole Miss vs. No. 11 Tulane: No. 6 Ole Miss won with 87.38 percent of the vote.
  • No. 5 Oregon vs. No. 12 James Madison: No. 5 Oregon has won 93.18 percent of its blocks.

Now that the brackets are set, we’re going to put 11 on 11 and see how many people can get the perfect bracket. That’s a lot less than getting 63 out of 63 in March’s perfect frenzy bracket.
