Autistic Teen still has a perfect bracket after two rounds

[joeybee12]

One weekend into one of the least predictable NCAA tournaments in recent memory, an autistic teen from the Chicago-area has done something virtually impossible.

He hasn't missed a pick.

Alex Herrman, 17, claims he has correctly predicted all 32 first and second round games. Northern Iowa over Kansas? He had it. Ohio over Georgetown? No problem. Saint Mary's, Cornell and Washington to the Sweet 16? Yep.

I'm good at math," Herrman told NBCChicago.com. "I'm kind of good at math and at stats I see on TV during the game."

Herrman entered his bracket via CBSSports.com's bracket manager, which is designed for private groups and does not include any cash prizes for the winner like other online games do. A CBS representative e-mailed Tuesday evening to say that the person who creates the group is able to alter the brackets after the games have started, so CBS doesn't monitor the results.

1. Good for him.

Cornell and Washington weren't a huge shock (I had both).

Having Kansas, 'Nova and G'Town (to Ohio in the 1st round) out already though? That's a hell of a pick. My bracket is already sitting it the trash. I'm watching the tournament but I'm not even looking at my sheet anymore.

More surprises in the women's bracket than usual as well.

3. He has Purdue winning it all.

If he is right on that pick, that would be an even bigger wow.

He really was a sockpuppet?
