Alex entered the bracket on CBSsports.com’s bracket challenge. His 24-year-old brother Andrew, who helped him enter his picks into CBS’ bracket manager, also entered the contest — and ranks behind 500,000 other people.

“My bracket is totally shot,” hist 24-year-old brother Andrew said. “So is everyone else I know.”

ESPN estimates around 4.78 million played in their bracket challenge, but no one picked all the games correctly. The leader at ESPN’s bracket has already missed four games.

But Alex Hermann’s miraculous bracket is still a picture of perfection.

Andrew is still shocked — after looking it over for the umpteenth time, he told his mother to alert the media.

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

Alex doesn’t get anything for perfection. He entered one of three bracket games offered by CBS — the only one without a prize attached.
