I don't think they will based on the tailspin B.C. is in right now... but I would absolutely love to see B.C. eke out a berth over the 'Riders.

Would take BC winning out and the 'Riders losing out the rest of the way to make it happen (assuming no ties). Despite the chaos in Riderville today and the possibility of a season-ending implosion, don't see the BC half of that equation panning out anyway.

The Riders have at least shown they can win games. BC is literally exhibit A of what happens when your OL is inadequate.
