With two weeks to go, here's what's going on north of the border...
This weekend's results: Montreal over Ottawa 23-17, Calgary beats Saskatchewan 40-27, the BC Lions edge Winnipeg 28-23, and in the most interesting game, Toronto holds serve at home in the first game of the East Conference round-robin, squeaking by Hamilton 26-24.
Toronto 26, Hamilton 24 - Saturday, October 25th, 2014
With BC's win, clinching a playoff spot for the Lions, there are four guaranteed spots going to Western teams, leaving only two for the three teams battling in the East: Montreal's at 8-8, with Hamilton and Toronto at 7-9.... BUT Montreal has to play both of the other two over the next two weeks, while the seven-win teams get "free" wins against Ottawa in the other weeks.
IF (as happened this week) the home team holds serve in each of the other "round-robin" games (and Ottawa loses twice), then Montreal and Hamilton will end up 9-9, and Toronto will be the odd one out at 8-10. Montreal will have the division record edge (they would have split their games against each other) and should win the bye week, while Hamilton would play either BC or Saskatchewan in the first round.
