But you're not here and I can't wait. So here's my Unofficial Unreal Power Rankings for week 10.
#1. Calgary Stampeders - Accuse me of homerism all you want, but with the display the Stampeders put on against Montreal in a game they should have lost if for no other reason than it was a home and home series.. I believe they are on top right now.
#2. BC Lions - Tough to move the Lions down on the bye week.. but if the Stamps played them like they played the Als, I don't think with BC's current health problems that it would be a game they could win. Hopefully next week things will be a little more clear.
#3. Montreal Allouettes - The sliding Als need to make a quick 180 if they want to keep on top of the East. In the three games they've lost, Robert Edwards has only one TD, compared to 10 in the first seven games.
#4. Saskatchewan Roughriders - Masters of the beatdown, the Riders destroyed Hamilton by a combined score of 97-23 in their home and away series. With backup Rocky Butler at the helm to boot. The question for the Riders now, is if they can continue this kind of success against a team that hasn't gone 3 games at home without a major.
#5. Toronto Argonauts - Close win against a Winnipeg team decimated by injuries, one that could have easily been a loss, does little to dispel the idea that Toronto's big win against Montreal may have been a fluke. The boatmen have a big chance to gain some ground with an upcoming series against the lowly TigerCats.. but Hamilton has a tendency to come out strong for the yearly tilt with the Argos. I guess we'll find out if Toronto can possibly push Montreal... or if maybe ageless Damon Allen's time is finally approaching.
#6. Winnipeg Blue Bombers - Winnipeg could have won the game against the Argonauts, if it wasn't for poor play calling and a terrible decision to sit Charles Roberts for most of the second half, after he had been tearing the Argo's D apart for the entire first half. With Glenn and Stegall possibly ready to return, it'll be interesting to see what happens at the Banjo bowl, and if Winnipeg can start making the East competitive again.
#7. Edmonton Eskimos - Nothing to do but sit back and wait. The Eskimos have a great opportunity to climb the ranks and start a comeback in the second half of the season when they play back to back with Calgary. Danny Macciocca was in attendance at Molson Stadium taking notes... for his sake they'd better be good ones.
#8. Hamilton TigerCats - How do you lose a second chance game by 43 points? After having seen what the Riders can do first hand in the first thrashing at Mosaic stadium, you would have thought the Cats would have learned enough to have at least slowed them down, or maybe ended the Ivor Wynne touchdown curse.. but no. They are truly inept. With too many problems to pin down, and too much of a gap to close up, it's time for the TiCats to start retooling, and hope for better things in the future.
