Power Rankings

[NewBlue]

There hasn't been a change to the top 3 for 6 weeks (Tor/BC/WPG)
I think it all gets swapped now.
WPG claims top spot, Tor falls 1 to 2nd, BC falls to 3rd
Then Monteal & Calgary in the next tier.  Whoever wins todays game can join the back of that tier.

[Blue In BC]

I guess we can all agree to dis-agree on this one. I am with TB on this one. I think Ards just has his blue glasses on too tight with his analysis. IMHO and it is only my opinion Toronto should be listed as first and the Bombers second for now. However things do change and really the Power ratings have zero value other than a discussion point.

+1

Based on performances delivered in this weeks games, Bombers clearly #1, Argos laid an egg against the Stamps and BC without the good VA is a distant 3rd

[TBURGESS]

Based purely on this weeks performances, Calgary should be #1 because they beat undefeated Toronto.

They weren't impressive in that victory, and Toronto was missing their most impactful player on offense, and arguably their 2 most impactful players on defense for most of the game due to injuries, so I don't buy it. Winnipeg is clearly number one.

Calgary squeaked past an injured Toronto team.

We freaking destroyed and humiliated what was the #1 team in our division...

But sure, what you said.

Then why wasn't BC #1 when they destroyed us earlier in the year? Because it's not about a single game or a single opponent.

They easily could have been.

Once again, you're trying to make things black and white like these things are calculated in a simple computing matrix where n=1.

There are shades of grey and people making the decisions and they'll weigh different things differently at different points in time.

Actually you're adding shades of grey that don't exist.

It is when the 3 teams are so close to each other, and 2 of them lose in the same weekend.
I do think had Tor won they would have stayed in 1st, but they didn't and now there's injury questions there.

There?s no definition of what power ranking mean, bud. You ask 5 different people, you?re going to get 5 different versions.

[pjrocksmb]

We are back to the cream of the crop and my bet is we stay there.  Sask will be tough though to win back to back.

I think injuries have got to factor into things. Kelly is hurt and Toronto lost, adams is hurt and the lions got creamed. Pretty obvious that bombers are #1 and if they stay healthy they will not look back. O line playing lights out, too many weapons offensively and defensively we re as good as any D and better than most

This.  Can't argue who has the most "power rank" when "power rank" isn't defined anywhere.  First everyone decide on a definition (I tried to give one earlier), then argue who has the most "power"!

Otherwise it's just a case of "I can pee farther than you can".

1.Toronto
2.Winnipeg
3.BC
4-8
9.Edmonton

Because 1-3 is all we care about and Edmonton is obvious.
