How is your bracket for the NCAA Men's basketball tournament looking right now? Lots of red ink (or "Xs," or whatever you do to signify a missed game), I presume? Well, you obviously didn't fill it out the way Alex Herrmann did.
As a person afflicted with autism, he apparently studied numbers so much that he found the winning combination, at least to this point.
Northern Iowa over Kansas? Check. Ohio over Georgetown? You bet. Mr. Herrmann hit every single game and has a perfect Sweet 16. You'd think he's destined to see things fall apart soon -- he has Purdue (his brother's alma mater) winning it all, but I don't know anyone who has picked every game correctly thus far.
Perhaps he should have pursued something more lucrative than entering CBS' free bracket competition. Unfortunately, that was his only entry. He could have won up to $10,000,000 with a perfect bracket on FanHouse, a cool mil on Yahoo!, and a whopping $13 million on sportsbook.com. Of course, Alex's mother told NBC Chicago that wouldn't have made much a difference.
"If he would have won any money he would have just saved it," his mother Diane said. "He's a big saver."
