One of the greatest things about March Madness is filling out a bracket, for everyone can do it. My hilarious friend from college was bragging about her upset pick of Northern Iowa over Kansas because she soley picked the games on school color.
An incredible story, however, comes from Chicago, as 17-year-old, Alex Hermann, is most likely the only human on this earth that has a perfect bracket for this year's tournament. With all of the upsets so far in this tournament, it is beyond a miracle that he has gotten this far.
Alex, who is autistic, told NBCChicago.com, "I'm good at math. I'm kind of good at math and at stats I see on TV during the game." He also must be a pretty good pyschic.
Many websites, like Yahoo and CBS Sports, have cash prizes for a perfect bracket, but unfortunately Alex put his bracket on the only one of the three on CBS Sports that does not have a prize.
He's got an uphill battle, however, for the odds, according to BookofOdds.com, of an entirely perfect bracket are 1 in 13,460,000. He also has Purdue winning the tournament, and may have been biased in the pick because his older brother goes to school.
I'm pulling for him, though, and it still has a chance of happening. The purple team, known as Northern Iowa, ended my bracket, for I had Kansas taking it all. Best of luck, kid.
