In the most unexpected year, one where the Canadian Football League pressed pause, our panel of CFL experts have decided to look back on something every fan of the three-down game knows and cherishes – Grey Cup champions.

Dynasties versus one-offs. Legendary moments versus legendary players. Overcoming the odds versus complete domination.

TSN’s experts, along with CFL stats guru Jon Perlberg, scrutinized and debated every team that has lifted Canadian football's ultimate prize to crown The Greatest Grey Cup Champion.
