1. Montreal
2. Saskatchewan
3. Winnipeg
4. Hamilton
5. Toronto
6. Edmonton
7. Calgary
8. BC
Montreal is the class of the league thus far, winning handily in both games. Saskatchewan is undefeated and has shown their defence is excellent. I'm tempted to denigrate Darian Durant, the Saskatchewan QB, but in the CFL this year, mediocre to poor quarterbacking seems to be the norm. In the land of the castrated, the one balled man is king.
For the four teams with even records, there's really little that separates them. Winnipeg is at the top of the list, mainly due to their defence and their quality receivers and definitely not QB Stefan LeFors. Hamilton is fourth, as they only lost by thirteen to Toronto and had a good performance versus BC this week. Toronto could be higher, as they've proved they can play, but also proved they can self-destruct rapidly from unnecessary roughness and roughing the passes penalties in short order. Edmonton looked terrible against Montreal this week and their running game was abysmal. They could improve by starting non-import Calvin McCarty at running back, but in all likelihood will go back to Arkee Whitlock to prove just how much he sucks. Oh and Ricky Ray is overrated.
Calgary is ahead of BC, mainly for potential. Henry Burris could snap out of his funk at any time and light up an opponent. Or he could keep sucking, but the potential is there. BC on the other hand, has lost too many veterans from last year's team and are in basically a rebuilding year. The Lions have also lost their kicker and punter Paul McCallum for six to eight weeks due to ligament damage. Who knows when Wally will get his five wins to claim the overall CFL coaching wins record? Maybe well after Labour Day at this rate.
