Here is how I see the stack up this week. Present any arguements for and against and feel free to post your rankings.
1- BC (10-0) The Juggernaught just keeps rolling on. They are good and they are winning. Not much else to say here
2- Toronto (7-4) Rebounded nicely to show that Labour day was a blip on the schedule. Still looks like they are the team to beat in the east.
3- Montreal (5-5) You really shouldn't be able to move up with a bye week but if a team in front of you doesn't deserve to stay up there the Als get by them.
4-Edmonton (7-4) A team with much talent, then just don't want to show up on game day. Still need to learn how to protect the QB and run the ball.
5-Saskatchewan (5-6) Gutted out another win with the backup QB. And now moving up the standings and rankings nicely. Has this team rediscovered themsleves?
6-Calgary (5-6) Full value for the commonwealth win. The Alberta teams almost always spilt thoose games anyhow. Should be interesting to see how the next few games treat the Stamps.
7- Ottawa (5-6) Showed that they just don't have enough to keep up to BC. But is fair because no one else has either. Still need to protect the QB better.
8- Winnipeg (3-9) Hard fought losses are good for character and not much else. But they did move up relative to last week.
9-Hamilton (2-9) After such a good game on Labour day this team looked like a bunch of guys who couldn't get inspired for the next game. Still looking for a spark and Greg Marshall is clearly getting more irritated as the weeks go by.
i agree with everything except that calgary and ottawa should be ranked higher than sask.....
calgary beat edmonton, a much harder task than beating winnipeg and calgary beat sask!!!!
and ottawa has swept sask. this season!!!
Power rankings are determined by recent play - I agree with most, but the Edmonton-Montreal thing gets me. Saskatchewan outplayed both Calgary and Ottawa this week, so I have no argument there. Moving up Montreal (who didn’t play) just because Edmonton crapped out is questionable in my opinion. . .
I have been a fan of the CFL (and the Eskimos) snice the age of three and watched virtually every game of the past 25 seasons. So clueless I am not.
As to your looking for an arguement (fight). Sure thing that is the point of the posting.
I guess I am being hard the EE because I expect much more from them and I will stand by the rest of my rankings. But continue to post arguements for a different order.
As an Als fan, I'd like to see my team moving up, but I don't think its fair that it happens this way. Edmonton should be 3rd... for now !
As for Saskatchewan, I'd leave it ahead of Calgary, not because Calagary hasn't played good, but because Sask has swept back-to-back games against the team that was mostly threatening its playoffs contention.
.......you guys missed the point.......according to the string title, these are Pankings, not Rankings.........Pankings is a Dadaist term for 'irrelevant garbage'......clever use of wording there MKP.......
