kinda sad face when you consider Edmonton doesn’t know who their QB really is yet this year

Yay, that's one spot better than last year's finish! :thup:

Power ranking before the season starts are meaningless and usually pretty far off. I have no problem with them putting the Cats in 7th right now but im shocked the Argos are ranked first. I would have the Lions, stamps and probably the Als before them.

Yup, like pre-season games in any sport, not a very reliable marker for how the team will end up at seasons end.

Lets see ... Last year ... Matthew Cauz's week 1 rankings were ...

BC
Calgary
Saskatchewan
Edmonton
Montreal
Toronto
Winnipeg
Hamilton

Actual year end standings were

BC
Calgary
Montreal
Toronto
Saskatchewan
Edmonton
Winnipeg
Hamilton

Not exactly terrible predictions or success. Nailed the top and bottom pairs. Missed on the worst in the west being better than the best in the east. But even at that, had the rankings with the two pairs correct.

do not forget that most TSN analysts also predicted Hamilton to land atop the East division last season, and we all know the end result was a complete reversal.

Hopefully, another reversal is in the making. :smiley:
