Crossover Battle - Who's out in the east?

I've worked out the cross over number, it could be decided this weekend by a loss by any of the eastern teams with 3 wins.

Also, B.C. currently leads the east by 4 games. Each east team can afford to lose 6 games (2 each) assuming BC goes winless to still have 3 east teams in the playoffs.

Then account for the divisional games remaining. Which will total 5 losses.
Argos have 2 Vs Ticats & Als
And there is one game left vs the Ticats & Als.

Not that this is anything new for anyone we've known for a while the crossover was happening.
I just was tasked to see if it was still possible, so mathematically, Yes! it is.

Unlike in 2009? when they east only won 6 games vs the west. (Most by the Als). This race has created interesting and close battles for playoffs in both divisions. As much as I'd like to see Toronto and Hamilton in the playoffs, you can' count out the Als either, who have 2 left vs the RedBlacks.

I think the Ticats go 9-9 while Toronto manages 8-10. Montreal out with 6 or less wins.

I had a new thought

Looking at the schedule Ottawa can definitely play the spoiler. 2 vs Ticats and 2 Vs Montreal one vs Toronto. I would like to think Ottawa can steal at least 1 win out of those games.

At first sight, anyway, that seems reasonable. If Toronto can ever field a significantly healthy roster, the team'll be better than mediocre (*) (in spite of being more often than not feeble along both lines and at MLB).

(*) I cannot bring myself to expect more from the Argos, particularly in the troubled context of this season.

Might depend how much of a spoiler role Ottawa will play down the stretch.

I have a hard time seeing Ham winning six more games and Tor five more, espy since they play each other twice.

As far as being the odd team out, I think it all depends on the home and home Argos have with Montreal. With the Argos already having a win over Montreal, a split would give them the season series meaning Montreal would have to finish ahead of the Argos to pass them. I think the Argos wqould have to sweep both home games against the Cats to win the division.

Montreal and Ottawa are out. No offence for either team, while Ray and Collaros are by far the 2 best QB's in the East. I don't expect the Argos to beat Hamilton this season at all and will finish 2nd.
