This series is the only one where we don't see two sides battling for a space in the standings. Elsewhere, we have the battle for 2nd in the West Division, the battle for 1st in the East Division, and the battle for the wooden spoon.
The Bisons are going to finish 4th in the East Division, and anywhere from 5th to 7th overall.
The Dinos could finish 2nd or 3rd in the East Division. They are three points behind MRU. In the event they finish deadlocked on points, MRU holds the head-to-head tiebreaker (4 wins to 2). Hence, Bedrock U needs to sweep the Bisons and the Bluegars must lost twice in regulation time for a shift to occur.
In head-to-head games between the Dinos and Bisons thus far, the Dinos are up 4-0. However, the Bisons have been unfortunate in those games. Also, those games were all in the 1st semester, where the Dinos went 15-3-0 and were widely thought to be a national contender. They then started the 2nd semester with two wins in Regina. Since that time they have gone 0-5-1.
These teams have just one Top 20 scorer between them, namely Calgary's Adam Kydd (7-32-39), second in the CW scoring race. Each side has three more players in the second twenty. For the Dinos there is Hayden Pakkala (13-10-23), Jake Poole (11-12-23) and Sean Strange (4-19-23), and the Bisons are Skyler Bruce (10-14-24), Dawson Pasternak (5-19-24), and Jonny Hooker (10-11-21).
For those without CWTV, the Friday game is being live-streamed on CBC Gem and their YouTube channel. The links are not available as I post, with everything being buried in Olympic coverage. It seems there is a lot of interest in that tournament!

This is a first place showdown on the final weekend of the schedule. The Banjo-Mutts lead the Bluegars by two points, and the teams have two wins a-piece in head-to-head match-ups so far. The only way they could end up tied is if MRU wins both games in overtime. In any event, all Sask needs is one win by any measure and they get 1st place and a bye to the semi-final round and MRU needs two wins of any flavour to get 1st place.
Also, the East 1st place team would face the winner of the quarter-final series between the West 2nd place team and the East 3rd place team. That looks to me the relatively easier route to the final.

This is the battle for 2nd place in the West Division. The winner hosts the 3rd place team from the East Division in the quarter-finals, while the loser travels to face the 2nd place team from the East Division.
Who would have thought the Evil Monkeys would be the 2nd best team in Edmontown? Well, they trail The Family Guys by three points now. The Apes hold a 3-1 lead in head-to head, so two wins, with no more than one in overtime, would give them 2nd place.

Both of these teams have been practically eliminated from playoff contention for a long time now. This is their first meeting of the season, which seems appropriate. The Banjo-Cats are one point ahead of Holy Trinity and hold the tie-breaker. Regina is coming off splits against Saskatchewan and Manitoba, so they must be the favourites in this epic clash.

If we go 3 NAT Rec, we can go 3 IMP Oline... "Bucky" is 6'3, 300lbs.
Love to have Eli as sixth man / jumbo / TE. He is, after all, 100% on targets with a TD on every catch.
He played exclusively guard and tackle in college. The NFL is very sizest, so perhaps they tried him out as a centre.
Walters made the comment that we've signed american centres as well, so maybe we're projecting guys to be centres, but don't appear to have anyone with previous centre experience, if that phrasing is better.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: C. Streveler
Last post by theaardvark - Today at 03:49:34 PMLast year, we had Paterson in for a look. The depth of QB's that have had a cup of coffee in the CFL who have shown a tiny bit of talent is huge, and pinning hopes going forward on any of the "never made its" seems counterproductive.
Sure, the reference to The all time #1 QB being one of those that took time to break onto the scene rears its ugly head every time we discuss an MBT or a Dru Brown, but all seriousness aside, how many times more QB's come in an light it up day one? It's a far, far greater number.
So, hanging onto someone or signing a guy that had some flashes hoping he's the next "long maturing AC" rather than bringing in a cattle call of fresh arms and letting them loose on the 3 down game seems a fool's errand.
We have a plethora of QBs on our neg list for a reason. And its been a minute since we gave a Vet CFL retread backup any time behind C.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Blue Bombers Add Receiver and ...
Last post by ModAdmin - Today at 03:30:29 PMBlue Bombers Add Receiver and Defensive Back
WINNIPEG, MB., February 13, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed American defensive back Robert Javier and American wide receiver Jamoi Mayes.
Javier (6-1, 195, Towson; born: May 26, 2000, in Bronx, NY.) signs with the Bombers after time in the CFL and NFL, and a five-year collegiate career at Towson University.
After his release from the NFL in September 2024, Javier signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, spending the remainder of the season on the practice roster. He later signed a futures contract but was released at final roster cuts ahead of the 2025 CFL season.
Javier originally signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent, attending training camp and appearing in all three preseason games, where he recorded one tackle.
Collegiately, he spent five seasons at Towson (2018–23), appearing in 36 games. He earned back-to-back All-Conference honours in 2022 and 2023, becoming Towson's first All-CAA cornerback since 2014. He finished his career with 77 tackles, one tackle for loss, and six interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns. Over his final two seasons, he broke up 26 passes in 21 games and ranked seventh in the FCS in passes defended per game in 2022. As a senior, he ranked second in the conference in interceptions (4) and pass breakups (
.
Mayes (5-10, 206, Cincinnati; born: August 23, 2002, in Griffin, GA.) signs with the Bombers after time in the NFL, and a five-year collegiate career with Cincinnati (2024), and Chattanooga (2020-2023).
In 2025, Mayes signed with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent and competed in training camp. He appeared in all three preseason games, recording one reception for 48 yards on five targets.
Mayes transferred to Cincinnati for the 2024 season and recorded 29 receptions for 349 yards and one touchdown in 12 games (11 starts). He also contributed on special teams, returning four punts for 22 yards.
Prior to Cincinnati, Mayes began his collegiate career at Chattanooga, catching 123 passes for 1,963 yards and nine touchdowns across 38 games (26 starts). During his breakout campaign in 2023 he posted 62 receptions for 1,037 yards and four touchdowns, including a career-long 70-yard reception. His 2023 receiving total ranked fourth in school history and earned him first-team All-SoCon honours.

Last post by Jesse - Today at 10:43:47 AMQuote from: Pigskin on February 12, 2026, 07:31:46 PMVibert might push Eli at TC. Vibert 6'3" 313, Eli 6'3" 287. He has 25 pounds on Eli. And then there's Uwuban who is 6'4" 300. First CFL TC but apparently plays a little nasty.
None of the OL we have signed have played C. And Vibert has incredibly little playing experience.
It seems like it's Eli's spot to lose right now.
