    This story is complete crap. If he was perfect so far, don't you think he would be winning the entire cbs pool? He is in a bracket challenge where you can go back and change the picks after the fact.

    He didn't enter into the main CBS bracket challenge pool--he only entered into the secluded "bracket manager" challenge controlled by his brother. That is cause for skepticism.

    From the article:



    << <i>Not shockingly, it hasn't taken long for the anonymous skeptics of the internet to start levying accusations against Alex and his brother (a 24-year-old Purdue grad who is in charge of the CBS "bracket manager" game in which Alex entered his bracket). >>

    So explain to us doubters how a perfect bracket isn't in 1st place?

    It is not in first place because he did not enter the main bracket challenge....he only entered the secluded "Bracket Manager" challenge.

    On CBS.Sportsline, there were 3 Different NCAA Tourny Pick-Em Games you could play.

    1. The main "Bracket Challenge" which most of us entered and those are are the "Standings" you keep referring to. The autistic kid's bracket is not in this game.

    2. The "Round by Round Brackets" where each contestant gets to re-pick after each round--winners are by round, not by the whole bracket. The autistic's kid bracket is not here either.

    3. The "Bracket Manager" challenge, where individual groups could set up there own challenges amongst themselves--with their own rules and scoring systems. This is where the autistic kid's bracket is--and these are not part of the national "standings" because they are individualized with different rules and scoring systems.

    Brennan's blog was referring to the kid's older brother:

    "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."

    That is awesome that someone can pick all the games so far. I am usually happy if my final 4 teams are still alive at this point.

    Ahhh, might have read that sentence a bit quick. Still not taking this at face value though.

    I don't think I could fill out the first two rounds perfectly today. So congrats to the kid either way!
