Power Rankings

[NewBlue]

Argos won, we BARELY got by the worst team in the league and now, like you said about the Argos earlier in this thread, WE have an injury concern with our most important player.

Based on some people?s interpretation of power rankings in this thread, the way BC destroyed Calgary last week, we?re lucky we didn?t fall to third.

The rankings (top 3 anyways) are exactly what they should be imho.

I dunno - both WPG & TOR had to make a comeback in the 2nd half. Both won.
Yes we have an injury concern to ZC, but I'll take our backup over theirs anyday.

I just feel the only way a team should drop is by losing.  Like both BC & Tor recently did.

He was saying we took over first because Toronto lost a game and potentially their QB... we just potentially lost our QB.  It was more the QB loss than the game loss that affected the perception of "power".  Toronto's backup played horribly, making them "less powerful".  OUr backup played brilliantly, came back from a 22 point deficit to win walking away.  Much more "powerful".

These weekly power rankings are fun to play with, based on. Misinformation.  I mean does Winnipeg get bumped to third?

I can?t wrap my head around bCs. qB as legit.  (Based on 5 ints. a game, very nervous vs. a good team)

He is a great back up.

Chad Kelly and Zac look like the best.  How ever. Zac has Had nervous feet the last few months. Therefore Kelly looks like the best, and with an awesome defense, they are Number 1 in my eye.

If I had to pick,
Toronto.  How will they be after ten games and no bye?
Winnipeg - how will they be without Zac?
BC- again can they keep Vernon healthy enough to play?
Montreal.- keep their QB healthy.

The others are a toss up.  All getting better, but coaching will determine the success of what seem to be inexperienced QBs, and disappointing skill position players. Should be a changed second half, with improvements coming from four of those teams.

Chad Kelly threw for over 400 yards....he hasn't lost a game unless he gets charged for the loss against Calgary when he left the game early?    Zach has had 3 pick sixes with that last one taking the cake.....he has had some stellar games like the win against BC and early in the season....however he hasn't been as consistent as we'd like despite his stats....Kelly also has a higher QB rating of 120 vs 114 for Zach.    Kelly has played 1 less game and has 5 picks vs. 6 for Zach.    The 3 pick sixes for Zach are concerning though.
At the moment if you extrapolate ypg, Kelly would be number 1 in the CFL.....pretty darn good for his first year, I'd say!

If I was picking this week:

Toronto - Only 1 loss team left.
BC - Destroyed Wpg & got destroyed by Wpg. Got their starting QB back and beat a better team than we did this week.
Wpg - Lost our starting QB & only beat Edm by 9.
Mtl - Won 3 in a row.
Cgy - Close in most games.
Ott - Close in most games.
Skn - Who is the QB?
Ham - Coming off the bye to play the Elks
Edm - I'd put them even lower if I could.

Wpg - Lost our starting QB & only beat Edm by 9.

I agree with your list except for your rationale here. Remember that we spotted them a 22 point lead not long into the 2nd quarter before out scoring them 38-7. Based on that an argument could be made to put the Bombers at #2 and BC at #3.

That was like 2 months ago lol

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I'm surprised TBurg didn't try to put us under Edmonton. For what it's worth, I'd go:

Toronto
Winnipeg
BC
Montreal
Ottawa
Saskatchewan
Calgary
Hamilton
Edmonton

Realistically 1 through 3 could be shuffled. Montreal is pretty much 4. Edmonton is last. The others probably blow with the wind any given week. The Riders will probably fall more given their QB situation but I always think you should see it first. They likely end the year 7th or 8th.

1st tier- Winnipeg, BC, Toronto

2nd tier-Montreal, Ottawa , Calgary

3rd tier- Hamilton, Saskatchewan, Edmonton

Anyone of 1st their teams could win GC. 2nd tier team may pose a challenge along the way. 3rd tier doesn?t make playoffs
