Calgary - no clinching or elimination possibility this week BC - no clinching or elimination possibility this week, but can finish no better than 3rd with a loss AND a Saskatchewan win Edmonton - eliminated from playoff contention with a loss AND a Calgary win AND a win or tie by Saskatchewan Montreal - can clinch a playoff spot with a win AND a Calgary loss or a win AND a BC loss Toronto - can clinch a playoff spot with a win AND a Calgary loss or a win AND a BC loss Hamilton - no clinching or elimination possibility this week Ottawa - eliminated from playoff contention Edited November 8, 2021 by TrueBlue4ever blue_gold_84 and Eternal optimist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 fwiw, I think Edm beats Ham this week.... other than Cgy over Ott, that's about all I'm certain of at this point. Geebrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternal optimist Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Hope HAM is the odd team out and gets eliminated by virtue of the cross-over once the dust settles.

I'm just not sure what a resurgent BC Lions team looks like.

And hosting BC and SSK. All of those teams still have something to play for, even EDM. Not impossible but yeah, unlikely. Thankfully, they play EDM this week...

TBURGESS Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 BC's effectively 2 games down on Hamilton. I can't see them crossing over this year. Tracker, blue_gold_84 and Bigblue204 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue4ever Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Week 14 scenarios: Winnipeg - 1st place Saskatchewan - clinched a playoff spot. Can clinch 2nd and a home playoff game with a win and a Calgary tie or loss, OR a tie and a Calgary loss Calgary - can clinch a playoff spot with a win and a B.C. loss or tie, OR a tie and a B.C. loss BC - would be eliminated from crossover playoff contention with a loss OR a win by either Hamilton or Montreal. Would be eliminated from Western playoff contention with a loss and a Calgary win or tie, OR a tie and a Calgary win. Edmonton - eliminated Toronto - clinched a playoff spot. No further clinching possibilities this week. Hamilton - can clinch a playoff spot with a win OR a BC loss OR a tie and a BC tie Montreal - can clinch a playoff spot with a win OR a BC loss OR a tie and a BC tie Ottawa - eliminated blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddanger Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Can't see BC making the cross-over. I figure it will be either Calgary or Sask playing here against us in December. East is too iffy to call for me right now. The only thing I know for sure is that Montreal will not be clinching a play-off spot this week!

Geebrr Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 BC is out it is all positioning for the teams in playoff spots now. Saskatchewan wants third because home teams never win, so it is really just the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC can (mathematically) make the postseason in the West - they are currently 4-7, and running the table would allow a 7-7 finish. That, combined with Calgary going 0-2 (finishing 6-8) would allow them to leapfrog them. Not saying it will happen, just saying that, mathematically speaking, it is a possibility. In other obscure playoff possibilities, BC, SSK and CAL could all (hypothetically) finish the season 7-7 invoking the CFL's wacky tiebreaker rule with 2+ teams. That said, it is extremely unlikely as ALL of the following would have to happen: - SSK goes 0-3 - CAL goes 0-2 - BC goes 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tiebreaker would be head-to-head-to head wins. Sask would be 3-2 (2-0 vs BC, 1-2 vs Cal), Cal would be 3-3 (2-1 vs Sask, would be 1-2 with another loss against BC) and BC would be 2-3 (0-2 vs Sask, 2-1 vs Cal). If BC and Cal end up tied in points, NC could still win out if they win the season series. As for the crossover, BC is almost down there as if either of Montreal or Hamilton win, they are done. BC can still lose one game but then Calgary would need to be winless for them to be tied. And Calgary can win one and BC is still alive if they win out. But odds are long in BC, and last week’s loss to Toronto was a real dagger. Eternal optimist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue4ever Posted November 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Week 15 scenarios- Winnipeg - top of the heap Saskatchewan - clinched playoff spot, can clinch 2nd and a home playoff game with a win or a tie OR a BC win or tie against Calgary Calgary - can clinch a playoff spot with a win or tie against BC, still in contention for 2nd place BC - will be eliminated with a tie or loss against Calgary, can finish no higher than 3rd Edmonton - out of playoffs, will finish last with a loss and a BC win or tie OR a tie and a BC win Toronto - clinched a playoff spot, can clinch 2nd and a home playoff date with a Montreal loss or tie, can clinch 1st with a win or tie against Hamilton. Toronto can still finish anywhere from 1st to 3rd. Hamilton - clinched a playoff spot, can clinch 2nd and a home playoff game with a win OR a Montreal loss OR a tie and a Montreal tie. Hamilton can still finish anywhere from 1st to 3rd. Montreal - clinched a playoff spot, cannot finish higher than 2nd, but can pass either Hamilton or Toronto (just not both). Will finish 3rd with a loss OR a tie and a Hamilton tie or win. Ottawa - bottom of the barrel. Edited November 8, 2021 by TrueBlue4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
