And just to confirm, anyone can make their picks even if they aren’t in the top 8.

Abbey, for those that are unfamiliar could you briefly set out the rules for the playoffs?

Best of luck to you all.

Even though I am not in the playoffs I will pick anyways

BC
Montreal.

Can anyone check to see how many weeks I was in first place and is that a record?

Just for peace of mind that’s all.

Please do not count my picks.

Thanks.

Not picking Hamilton again ever. Even if they sign Patrick Mahomes. Even if it’s an exhibition game against a Pop Warner team. Even if they are the last team on earth after a nuclear war and are playing a team made up of rats and cockroaches. Not sure who they are starting at QB but if it’s Bo I’m very confident with this pick.

BC

Had to think for a minute considering that BC inexplicably got manhandled by Calgary two weeks ago. But Calgary’s mostly A team got manhandled by Bombers B team this past weekend. I’ll go with their respective bodies of work throughout the season and the fact BC is at home.

Sorry looking for clarification.

“4 winners move on” means the top 4 after this week including regular season records?

The top 8 finishers make their picks - Then the top 4 with the best win/loss record move on to the East/West Final. After that, 2 with the best win/loss record move on to the Grey Cup Game. The 2 finalists can pick the same team to win - they both predict a Final Score - The one with the closest score to actual Grey Cup Game score wins the 2023 CFL Grey Cup Challenge. I hope this post gives clarity.

Perhaps GridironGirl/Jon may do that for you. On the other hand I could do it too.

Sorry Mahal but there is no easy way to check except to go back to the standings for each of the 21 weeks and see who was in first, unless GGirl can hit a button in her program that does the work for us. I’m doubting that is possible but she can tell us if it is.

My guess is that you were in first for 6-7 weeks while I was in first for 9-10 weeks, but I’m just guessing. You can check the threads if you want. They should all be named the same so they are easier to search than in the past.

No worries. Did have fun though.

Thought I had it in the bag but you can’t win in June you win in November.

I would do it for you but I’m busy washing my hair and then spending the rest of the evening thinking of Tiger Cat curses and making little yellow and back feline dolls.

You shouldn’t have to bother, the Ticats seem cursed and quite capable of beating themselves.

Despite that, for shiats and giggles, I say they win a tight one this week. EF is a whole other ball of wax.

Normally I’d go with the home teams but something tells me that I’d better go with the teams that got me here which just happen to be the home teams (so now you know how my brain works):

:als_red: Alouettes de Montréal

I listed all of my choices in alphabetical order for your convenience Abbey. Just trying to make your life a little bit better than it was ten seconds ago. :boom: :beaver: :canada:
