Yes. That guarantees at worst 2nd overall. The only we don't get first is if Toronto wins, and not both of Montreal and Saskatchewan win.

bigg jay Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 What Montreal does is irrelevant, they can't finish lower than Toronto or Saskatchewan because of the tie breakers. The only way we end up with the 2nd pick is if the Riders lose and the Argos win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way we end up with the 2nd pick is if the Riders lose and the Argos win. It is relevant (for us) since if there's a 3 way tie Ssk will end up with the first overall. If only Ssk and Tor ends up with the tie, Tor (or Wpg) will end up with the first overall since Ssk holds the tie-breaker vs Tor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigg jay Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yep. Forgot that 3 way ties are broken differently. Montreal owns the tie breaker over both other teams individually but their head to head record is the 1st tie breaker if all 3 teams are tied. Sask is 1-3 while Toronto is 2-2. Probably irrelevant though. The chances of both Toronto and Saskatchewan winning are pretty slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) To add... IF WPG wins Friday... Both EDM (vs TOR) and BC (vs SSK) has still something to fight for so their games are not meaningless by any means. MTL vs HAM on the other hand could be a snooze fest since HAM is already secured to host the cross over team from the West. They will probably wont play Collaros the whole game and make sure he's healthy for the playoffs. Edited October 31, 2016 by M.O.A.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose Edmonton might prefer to LOSE so they can go play in Hamilton for the ESF. I don't see any reason the Esks will actually want to beat the Argos, aside from maybe arrogance.

I'd imagine they, like BC and WPG , want to be in the west semi because they all want to beat Calgary in the West Final.

Dascow Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) When the Stamps play in the Western Final on Nov. 20, they will have had 20 days off and Bo Levi Mitchell will have not played in a game in 30 days. (Basically a month!) If any anyone is going to catch the Stamps on a bad day, the Western Final would be the most likely day. I think the Bombers would have their best chance if they played the Stamps after such a long layoff instead of in the biggest game of the year in the Grey Cup.

brett_c_b Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 so back to the topic of the draft order, do we pick 1st? Toronto looking like they're about to lose and finish with 5 wins, Sask if they lose is also at 5. Week 2: Toronto 30 - Sask 17 Week 17: Sask 29 - Toronto 11 So they split the season series, but points are 46-41 for Sask, so in theory they finish ahead of Toronto in the overall standings, leaving Toronto last and us picking 1st?

bigg jay Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 As long as Edmonton doesn't crap the bed late, then yes we pick 1st. Montreal eliminated the possibility of a 3 way tie with their win earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add on top of that, it's well into November at that point - the weather could also play a factor as well. I think based on our D that might actually be an additional benefit to the Bombers. That said, B.C. first, whether it be at home or away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedFlex27 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 It's about time we got the #1 pick as it was taken from us in the 2014 Draft to give Ottawa the very first pick. It was Our Turn!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
