Power Rankings

1. Montreal
2. Calgary
3. Saskatchewan
4. Edmonton
5. Toronto
6. BC
7. Winnipeg
8. Hamilton

Obviously Montreal beating Calgary last week puts them at the top of the heap. I'm not willing to give up on Calgary yet, but if they lose this week they will tumble down the rankings.

Saskatchewan and Edmonton are high due to their wins last week, although I don't really have a lot of respect for either team. Saskatchewan appears to be repeating their formula from last year where they win ugly with defence. Until Durrant gets injured and they really start to suck. Edmonton barely beat Winnipeg, which isn't saying much.

Toronto beat Hamilton relatively easily, which isn't much of a data point, but it all the information we have.

BC lost to Saskatchewan, although they have the Cats this week. If they lose, the number eight ranking is all theirs.

Winnipeg. Not as a big a fail as one would have thought. Still can't win games.

Hamilton. No idea how to win, comes out on the losing end of most plays, against Toronto. Considering the East's record in BC over the years, a win next week would be a miracle. Blitz relentlessly from the first play and hope Buck "Glassman" Pierce goes down early. Repeat with Jarious Jackson.
