Two ways readers can interpret the wording of this poll:
1) A computer can predict the winner of the NCAA Tournament with probability of accuracy p>0.
2) A computer can predict the winner of the NCAA Tournament with probability of accuracy p=1.
To say "yes" to the first or "no" to the second is to be aware of the obvious while saying "no" to the first is to deny the existence of programmable computers (or the "blind chimp flinging his feces at a bracket board" principle), and saying "yes" to the second is to believe in black magic.
All I can say is--Great poll question CNN, you worthless left-wing and/or right-wing propagandist mouthpiece.
