The 2014 Peach Bowl featured the TCU Horned Frogs of the Big 12 Conference against the Ole Miss Rebels of the Southeastern Conference. TCU defeated Ole Miss by a score of 42–3.[7]

Sponsored by the Chick-fil-A restaurant franchise, the game was officially known as the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. This was the first time since 2005 that the game was called the Peach Bowl. Between 2006 and 2013 it was known as the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

Teams

The College Football Playoff Selection Committee selected #6 TCU Horned Frogs and the #9 Ole Miss Rebels to participate in the game. TCU was the Big 12 Conference Co-Champions, while Ole Miss was an at-large team, finishing in 3rd place in the SEC West.

This was the seventh overall meeting between these two teams, with Ole Miss previously leading the series 5–1. The last time these two teams met was in 1983. These two teams have played each other in two bowl games previously, the 1948 Delta Bowl and the 1956 Cotton Bowl.

The Peach Bowl had long been one of the most prestigious non-major bowls. Its inclusion in the College Football Playoff marked its ascendance to major-bowl status.
