Finally, the right decision has been made.
Some fans were outraged that the Dr Pepper Challenge, a contest between 2 individuals to see who can throw the most footballs into a target in a specific time frame, ended in a double tie during the SEC Championship game.
The contest ended in a tie, added 15 seconds and ended in a tie yet again. Because one of the contestants won a tiebreaker the day prior, they originally got to go home with the $100,000 prize.
Dr Pepper announced later that it would be giving both contestant the $100,000 prize.

Everyone can rest.
On the gridiron, things haven’t been as close. Georgia is manhandling LSU in the title game, 50-30 with just over 7 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. The Bulldogs were locks to make the CFP regardless, but have now sealed away the No. 1 seed and will face one of Ohio State or TCU. Though, some Alabama fans will have something to say about that one.
