    I personally would keep the divisions as is for the regular season. The 1st place teams would get byes into the second round and be top seeds. After that ... division goes away and teams are ranked by record. The current setup as it stands makes the CFL the only professional league that rewards mediocrity based on geography.
    Have you seen the NBA lately, Ron? The Western Conference has been much, much stronger than the Eastern Conference the past few years. The Raptors would be lucky to make the playoffs in the Western Conference but I don't hear many in Toronto complaining about that.
    Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

    Maybe true. But you don't see a set of standings in any other pro sport that has an entire division/conference ahead of the first place team in the other. All for an east/west discrimination (are Canadian truly still that petty?) that was proven false in 2007.

    And in the NHL there are less teams in the West but the same number of playoff spots. I haven't heard anyone complaining about that.

    I do remember complaints about that actually, when the realignment was announced.
    But the rationale for the realignment (by time zones) seemed to outweigh the imbalance in the conferences.

    With Vegas being added this year, the imbalance is reduced.
    This is why I believe that the next expansion team will be in the west (Seattle perhaps?).
    Sadly, I think Quebec City will not get an expansion team - only a transplanted eastern team (Islanders? Panthers?)
