Not surprised by the rankings. Oddsmakers every year pretty much follow the standings of the previous year, despite most teams being virtually turned over. I like Carlos' rankings better😃 to be honest. Just for fun, because there's lots of change to come yet before the season hits, here you go - have at it.
It was a toss up between Cgy and Otw in the basement. The only factor that didnt make Calgary the 9th team was the stadium they play in. That dump somehow forces east teams to do dumb things
…I have to remind myself yearly to stay away from power rankings where everyone claims to be an expert and no one is even close….consider myself reminded…
I don't like rankings before the season, but I don't think the rankings are that far out.
Mine would be very similar... 2 to 5 can be anyone's, they are too close to make a firm placement, and 7th and 8th are interchangeable.
This would be mine:
I've learned to not obsess over predictions like this. Last August I was concerned about how well the Blue Bombers would do. Just goes to show that anybody can make predictions, what these are worth will only be known in November, so why get so worked up about them now?
not to mention the cfl playoff format is in no way shape or form designed to give a true representation of anything resembling a power ranking that is accurate...yet is the main driving factor for ranking teams at the end and beginning of our season...how can Cowtown be any where near the bottom of this ranking...tied for second... or third at worse if the people doing the ranking had a migraine
