The following season in 1976, Ottawa went on to win their third and last Yates Cup in the 20th century when they defeated Bishop's University 22-20. With that win in the Yates Cup, Ottawa returned to the Atlantic Bowl in which they played Acadia. In this national semi-final game against Acadia, Ottawa wound up losing the game 18-16 and was denied a chance to play in another Canadian College Bowl. Ottawa's next championship season was during the 1980 season, in which the University of Ottawa became the first ever champions of the Dunsmore Cup (the Dunsmore Cup is for the champions for the OQIFC). In that championship game, Ottawa defeated Queen's University in a close game by a score of 13-12. With that win in the Dunsmore Cup, Ottawa once again returned to the Atlantic Bowl in which Ottawa once again played Acadia. In this championship game, Ottawa got their revenge from their last defeat and defeated the Axemen 28-8. With that win in the Atlantic Bowl, Ottawa returned to their third Canadian College Bowl where they faced the Alberta Golden Bears. In this championship game, Ottawa was defeated 40-21.

Ottawa's next two championships came 15 seasons later in 1995 when they won back to back championships in the Dunsmore Cup. These two championships were the last ones in which Ottawa won in the 20th century.
