You shouldn't stress about filling out your office bracket this week, as one of the best things about March Madness is that previous knowledge of the sport is not necessarily correlated with success.

Why it matters: It probably doesn't! Nobody has ever filled out a perfect bracket.

• In the men's tournament, powerhouses with future NBA players are routinely upset by tiny schools that get hot, especially in the early rounds.
• As far as the NCAA can tell, only one person has ever even picked perfectly through the Sweet 16.

Yes, but: In the women's NCAA Tournament, there a fewer upsets than in the men's, so the margins for error on your bracket are lower.

North Carolina schools have historically dominated in the men's NCAA basketball tournament, reaching the Final Four a combined 44 times.

Why it matters: A review of bracket history shows the longtime dominance of college basketball's "blue blood" programs — always useful knowledge when filling out your bracket — but there's always the potential for lesser-known schools to make a deep run.

Between the lines: North Carolina's tourney success is driven largely by Duke (17 Final Fours) and UNC (21), with some help from N.C. State (4), Wake Forest (1) and UNC-Charlotte (1).

Each year, Sony developers try to balance between making "MLB: The Show" fun and authentic.

Why it matters: "Authenticity is the most important thing when it comes to simulation sports games — if it's not right, fans notice immediately," Ramone Russell, San Diego Studio director of product development and brand strategy, tells Axios.

March Madness is officially here and, with it, the time to get irrationally frustrated at your bracket.

Why it matters: It probably doesn't! Nobody has ever filled out a perfect bracket, and, because there are fewer upsets in the women's NCAA Tournament than the men's, the margins for error on your bracket are lower.
