Saskatchewan are resting players this week. I think Taylor Powell outduels Jack Coan in that situation giving Edmonton the win. Assuming Winnipeg playing for their lives vs. BC resting wins, Argos would get JJ Ouellette and the Riders.

Calgary seems like up and coming team but they let to many close games get away early on IMO.

Nice we are getting Bombers or Riders for the playoff game as we did not see them earlier... was a kick in the groin to me giving away 3 marquee games but I guess at this point that's water under the bridge.

Need every GTA CFL Fan out for this one... if your able...should be a great game.

Go ARRGOS !!!

In the CFL it’s almost impossible to determine an up and coming team. In Calgary’s case, I would be really pissed off though. They might finish in a 3 way tie for 3rd, finish last because of multi team tie break rules, and miss the playoffs because the 2 other teams played 10 home vs 8 away, while they played standard 9 of each. The Argos decision to sell off home games screwed Calgary.

This certainly guarantees the Grey Cup will not be a sell-out.

It used to be an automatic sellout regardless of how the home team did. It's the largest one-day sports event in this country, dammit! Having said that, Calgary is not where I would have had this year's big game.

I guess the defending GC Champs would rather be the cross-over and play the Argos? Cause, with a win today in a meaningless game for the EE, the they would control their destiny and get to go to BC. Given that no cross-over team has ever advanced to win the East, you would think they would prefer to stay out West - so play their starting QB Harris instead of a rookie in Coan. Maybe they figured the EE would just roll over in a nothing game and they would win that way, but IMO, seems they would rather face the Argos ?

So, if that transpires, the Argos need to pay them with a huge beat down next Saturday; get an early lead and run up the score, and lay a good beating on old QB Harris; teach Mace a lesson there.

What is going on? CFL.ca standings show Winnipeg finishing higher than Calgary, but Calgary playing in the East Final.

Same thing with the Score app.

I feel like I am losing my mind looking at this.

The "x" for playoff team is beside Winnipeg.

Then why are they listing Calgary as playing in the East Semi-Final?
