Premature Power Rankings are here: https://www.cfl.ca/2020/02/27/way-early-power-rankings/

1. HAM
2. WPG
3. SSK
4. CGY
5. EDM
6. MTL
7. BC
8. TOR
9. OTT

These do seem to check out, even if only on paper. There could be some variability from 3 through 6, IMO.

Personally I see it as:
1: WPG - Champs should always be #1 before the damn season starts. Especially when the entire team is retained.

2: Ham - Could make a case for #1, but at the end of the day they aren't the champs.

3: CGY - Still have the making of a contender, though they have a lot of holes on O right now.

4: SSK - Can't justify Edm or MTL being ahead of them right now. 

5: EDM - EDM and MTL could be swapped at this time and I'd be fine with it. But Harris embarrassed them in the play offs, so here we are.

6: MTL - See above

7: BC 

8: TO

9: OTT

Now to get Brandon Banks on an off - season program that will give him the cardio needed when he's targeted 3 times in a row...

I still think with a different OC, Streveler could be a top tier QB in this league.

We must never mess with the 'Rouge' - it may serve no real purpose but most importantly it is not American and it confuses the **** out of Americans... therefore it is critically important to the Cana

The whole idea of the top team picking their opponent is ridiculous... but I do like W1 and E1 getting the top two spots and then rank 3-6 as they lie... 

I think EVERYONE is on board with this..... everything I've read online suggests people like this.  The whole "1st picks opponent" thing was Wade's idea, and he's really beating the drum for it, but I can't see it ever being a thing. This idea that we need a circus to draw attention goes against everything I believe in as a Canadian. Just be cool, man....keep it low key.

Wade has been watching too much XFL.

Really don't care about power rankings. They can put the Bombers at the bottom all they want. It's meaningless for me. 

Besides, it's not how you start... but how you finish.

well based on that...Mtl beats Sask in a semi...at IGWest...CGY beats Edm...then we paste MTL at home to face the Stamps or Hamilton for back to backers at IGWest to complete the final of the first ever's at IGWest...looks good to me

If Edmonton Eskimos president Chris Presson gets his way there could be a new wrinkle to the CFL on TSN broadcasts this season.

If you’ve watched any of the XFL games, or an AAF game last season before they folded, odds are you’ve noticed those leagues have handled video replay differently from a broadcast perspective.

Unlike the current set up for the CFL and NFL where broadcasts generally go to commercial breaks, in the XFL you can hear the conversation between the official on the field and the video replay official.

In Presson’s mind, giving the viewers the chance to hear the conversation brings a breath of honesty to video review.

Presson can push for change because he’s a part of the CFL’s innovation committee, the same group that’s looking at potentially changing the CFL playoff format.

I think the CFL could try this..at least in pre-season.

Considering Kavis was fired a month into the season for running a cap scheme with Steph Logan... and then they still didn't really cut anyone...  I'm betting Montreal

Smart.

I have wanted this for years. Rugby has been doing this for over 15 years. There is no logistics that need to be dealt with it’s they don’t want there crews exposed like this.

Never a truer line. Don't see the complexity in arguing that until the teams hit the field.

It’s hilarious seeing rider fans cry that we’re in the top 2 in a meaningless power ranking. One poster is adimate just because Calgary went 6-12 the year after they won in 2001 we don’t deserve to be number two. The delusion is real!

They also think if they had a healthy Fajardo they win the GC...
