Even if you crossed your L & R lines, your pedal shouldn't go to the floor.

Have you checked for obvious leaks or noticed if the brake fluid level goes down after several pumps of the pedal?

Did you bleed in the correct sequence:
1. Left rear
2. Left front - top chamber (single bleeder)
3. Right front - top chamber (single bleeder)
4. Right rear
5. Right front - lower chambers (2 bleeders)
6 Left front - lower chambers (2 bleeders)

Did your power bleeder allow air to enter the system when the fluid got too low?
