Seventeen-year-old Alex Herrmann, an autistic teen that lives outside Chicago, is absolutely perfect so far in picking the NCAA tournament, according to nbcchicago.com.

Northern Iowa over Kansas? He picked it.

Ohio over Georgetown? Got that one, too.

Cornell to the Sweet 16? Check.

"It's amazing," he said.

According to the NBC story, BookofOdds.com says the odds of picking the first two rounds perfectly is one in 13,460,000.

"I'm kind of good at math," Herrmann said, "and at stats I see on TV during the game."

Herrmann entered one of CBS' bracket games with the help of his brother, Andrew.

"My bracket is totally shot," Andrew Herrmann said.

"I checked his bracket and it was off the chart, " Andrew said. "I thought it was a big deal."

Alex's perfect bracket may not stay that way throughout the next two weekends, but picking the first 48 games correctly is still a feat in itself.

Several of CBS' bracket games offered cash prizes for picking perfect rounds. But the version of the challenge that Alex entered does not offer prizes, which might be why CBS told USA TODAY that the best bracket in their game had four games incorrect.

According to USA TODAY's Michael Hiestand, of the 5.4 million entries in ESPN.com's bracket challenge, no one picked the first two rounds perfectly.

As for Alex Herrmann, he's still got a few more upsets up his sleeve. If his bracket is to remain perfect, he needs Purdue, his brother's alma-mater, to win the national championship.

Anyone gonna argue with the perfect bracket?

I have a friend, well, an acquaintance, who memorized all of our birthdays, we're all convinced he's slighty autistic.

A lot of times being autistic is not such a negative thing, it can allow for something crazy like memorization.
