March 24, 201016 yr You may not be in the mood to hear this right now, but Alex Herrman, a 17-year-old from the Chicago area, has picked every game correctly so far on his CBS Bracket Challenge entry. Forty-eight winners, including Northern Iowa over Kansas, Ohio over Georgetown and Cornell over Wisconsin. Herrman, who has autism, says that he studied all season for the tournament ... but unfortunately entered one of the only online pools that doesn't have a prize. Yahoo offers $1 million for a perfect bracket; SportsBook.com offers $13 million. STORY LINK
March 24, 201016 yr I got a text about this. It said it is a 1 in 13 million chance. Congrats to the kid. He should be either the next president or at least on ESPN prediction.
March 24, 201016 yr Read that his picks were not "locked" and could be changed..............hmmm. Now that his brackets are public, let's see how he does from here on out.
March 24, 201016 yr Read that his picks were not "locked" and could be changed..............hmmm. Now that his brackets are public, let's see how he does from here on out. Now thats an interesting fact. We will see.
March 24, 201016 yr They read rest of his picks on Mike and Mike this morning, he has Purdue winning it all over Tennessee in finals.

March 24, 201016 yr Read that his picks were not "locked" and could be changed..............hmmm. Now that his brackets are public, let's see how he does from here on out. I am pretty sure once the game started, they couldn't be changed no matter what. However up until gametime he could have. So that means he still got all them right so far...
March 24, 201016 yr I am pretty sure once the game started, they couldn't be changed no matter what. However up until gametime he could have. So that means he still got all them right so far... An excerpt from the article: CBS did not return several phone calls to confirm Alex's entry -- and the software does allow changes after the tournament begins. But the Hermann's insisted that they filled out their brackets as a family before the tournament started, and haven't touched the picks since.
March 24, 201016 yr The real question no one has asked, Did the kid pick Cornell tomorrow? I can't see his bracket from the link.
March 24, 201016 yr He has KY in the final 4. Along with UT, K-State, & Purdue. Has Purdue over K-State in the finals.
March 24, 201016 yr They read rest of his picks on Mike and Mike this morning, he has Purdue winning it all over Tennessee in finals. Along with UT, K-State, & Purdue. Has Purdue over K-State in the finals. So who is it then? Kansas State or Tennessee?

But the Hermann's insisted that they filled out their brackets as a family before the tournament started, and haven't touched the picks since. I fill out brackets on A LOT of websites. I know on some brackets, it does let you change a game after the tournament has officially started, as long as that game had not actually started. I have never seen one let you change one in the middle of the game or after the game. So the article may be right, they might have allowed changes after the actual tournament started. I still find it hard to believe, that it would let you change in the middle of a game though.
