Montreal’s Defense is lights out???
Only Winnipeg has given up more points… I don’t even think they were lights out in that game… BC did score 38 points, sure they had some good points, but lights out?.. hardly
When your offense turns the ball over 7 times, expect to have alot of points scored on your defense. Some of those points werent against the defense either.
Calgary - Best team in the league right now
Saskatchewan - Better record than Calgary but they have been squeaking by with wins lately after losing to the Stamps
Toronto - Ricky Ray is on fire and although injured, the Argos will fare better next week with Collaros taking full reps at practice
BC - Only here because the bottom teams haven't proved any better so far
Hamilton - A win against BC will put them in the upper tier
Edmonton - Much better than their record indicates, but need to start winning games to jump up the rankings
Montreal - Starting to win games but are still a mess
Winnipeg - Don't have anything nice to say so I won't say anything at all
Here are my calculated power rankings, based on teams' previous week rankings, scores, and home vs. away.
Calgary - 0.869
Saskatchewan - 0.842
BC - 0.592
Toronto - 0.568
Montreal - 0.364
Hamilton - 0.349
Edmonton - 0.093
Winnipeg - 0.077
Four pairs of teams pretty much tied for first, third, fith and last. The calculations are definitely not allowing Edmonton to rise out of the basement like I think they should; personally, I'd have them even with Montreal and Hamilton. But that's the only change I'd make.
Argo fans have suffered as well. I still remember the late 70’s and some dreadful teams in the 90’s. At least we have a few Grey Cups wedged in there to ease the pain though.
