TCU vs Ole Miss for The Traveling Canadian Championship of College Football

When we last left the Traveling Canadian College Football Championship TCU defeated Oklahoma to win the crown, only to lose it the following week to Baylor. Baylor lost the championship the next week to West Virginia previous Canadian Champs via that 70-33 Orange Bowl win over Clemson. WVU always brings their A-Game to win the Canadian Championship. Last time they held the Championship for 283 days, this time, only 14 days, as they lost the trophy to...TCU.

For a bit it looked like the Canadian Champion would be settled in the College Football Playoff, but it wasn't meant to be. Instead, for the second straight year the SEC will attempt to wrestle the Canadian Championship away from the Big XII. Last year you'll remember Oklahoma shocked the world by beating Alabama. Big Game Bob Stoops filled his big game quota for the decade and Oklahoma will proceed to lose all the big games by all the points for 4 or 5 years.

Like the maple cream sauce on top of peach crisp, this winner of this year's peach bowl also will become the final Canadian Champion of 2014.

We previously established TCU as the Ottawa REDBLACKS:

The Ottawa Rough Riders were founded in 1876 and were a CFL tradition. The Rough Riders won nine Grey Cups, including five under the direction of former UB Head Coach Frank Clair. In 1996, the Ottawa Rough Riders folded as a franchise...think of this as the Southwest Conference.

Ottawa returned as the Ottawa Renegades in 2002, think of this as the WAC/MTN years. The Renegades suspended play after only four seasons.

In 2014, the REDBLACKS brought football back to Ottawa, think of this as the "return" to the Big XII. Why REDBLACKS? Well I don't know why all caps, but the name was changed as Saskatchewan, also known as the Roughriders, prevented Ottawa from using the name, think of Saskatchewan as Baylor. Ottawa is experiencing growing pains (currently 2-11, last in CFL) but will no doubt flourish quickly as TCU has since their move to the power 5 conference.

Think of Ole Miss as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats:

Both Ole Miss and Hamilton peaked in the 1960's, both won 3 championships between 1959 and 1969.

Both returned to glory with the help of a famous relative, for Ole Miss it was Eli Manning, for Hamilton, it was Darren Flutie.
