Start Your Arguing Engines: The Way Too Early Power Rankings are in

In years past, this space — the aptly named Way Too Early Power Rankings — has tried to cater to and pay due respect to the recently named Grey Cup champions. It should take something extraordinary to knock a champion from its well-earned perch, especially in an April Power Rankings setup, where camps haven’t even opened yet and games are even further away from being played.

It’s never “way too early” to bestow some love upon the glorious Blue Bombers. Not sure I would rank the same other than #1. Hamilton is going to be the scary team.

The headline sums it all up, worthless tripe.

It's fine, these articles are there to give fans in the offseason something to argue about. :smiley:

I mean, gosh, my Als dead last, huh? You'd think we finished out of the playoffs last year instead of hosting and winning a playoff game and only losing to the eventual Grey Cup winner (Toronto).

Don't care much at this point. But Hamilton's too low, BC minus Rourke, Figueroa, Butler, Burnham way too high. Personally the Riders gave up 176 yds/game in dropping Duke, Evans & Moore & gained 93 yds with Brescasin, Bane & Wienke (historical production). Don't see how OL is improved so, bottom line, I see them in 9th.

In my case, yes. I find that Beer and mutts can be a nice pairing as well. It depends on each person’s individual tastes.

That's where I would have Edmonton too given that they didn't make an upgrade at QB.

Best BC does is 4th overall. I think 5th.

Switch Ham with BC and switch Toro with Sask

This is a lazy article with very little details for each team.

My Als ranking is wishful thinking mixed with gut feeling. But I do like your quarterback. Given time he might surprise.

My guess for this early assessment
Winnipeg (Unfortunately I am forced to put Winnipeg 1st as they have repeat proven players)
Hamilton (A ton of Purchased talent and Mitchell, I believe still has juice plus he has something to prove)
Calgary (Maier's 1st crack as the "Man" and lots of new faces especially on Defense, I'm hoping I'm right on this ranking)
Toronto (A lot of purchased talent but can they play together with B/U QB)
BC (Without Rourke and the loss of talent team will struggle - Adams ok but not great, tendency to lose concentration at times)
Ottawa (If [Jeremiah Masoli is completely healed might be higher ranking but for now questionable)
Edmonton (Chris Jones made some improvements but still experimenting)
Montreal (Fajardo and Maas are repeat from Riders & that didn't work)
Saskatchewan ( Massive changes that go no where, not convinced Harris has the stuff)
