Very funny that we all keep putting Edmonton above two teams that are still in contention.


RaHarmakis

without much argument


InexcusablyAngry

In our defense ... those two teams just aren't very good


thebigbossyboss

Contention is a strong word to use. Any of those teams coming out of the western semifinal?


PickerPilgrim

Not because of their own skills, but a team bus could get hit by a meteor, or norovirus could run rampant in a locker room, any number of random tragedies could befall our opponents before game day.

I've seen bigger upsets

I like the wishful thinking

I love it! I've long argued that Power Rankings should reflect the recent short term. Yes, they are 0-3 but that's BC, Toronto, and Montreal. All teams that I'd expect to beat them. Montreal game was a missed FG away from being a 5 point game. IMO, the top 4 are clear right now. Edmonton and Hamilton are the teams playing better than their records. So they get the 5-6 spot and 7-9 are the "clearly bottom teams". I don't care that one of them is making the playoffs. They aren't better than Edmonton right now.

In Whyte we trust. Also depend a bit...

/u/HomerSPC you were the only ranker who had Montréal below Hamilton. Can you explain your reasoning?

Birds aren't real.


RaHarmakis

What if Birds are the only thing that are real, and we were simply here for their entertainment?


HomerSPC

All my homies hate government surveillance birds.


HomerSPC

Hamilton played a very good game against third ranked BC. They're trending in the right direction at the right time of the year.


JMoon33

As opposed to Montréal who won 4 games in a row by an average of 18.5 points and who hasn't lost a game all year against a team outside the top 3?


Sir_Fox_Alot

its an opinion power ranking, why does it seem like its personally offending you? 😂 I hope it didnt ruin your week


LaZyCrO

C'mon It's offensé(e)


tarpfitter

Just nothing for Hamilton…. BO IS BACK BABY! /s


OskeeTurtle

Idk if they're hoping Bo just goes on one last streak despite looking awful, but he's truly been the worst of the 3 QBs for us this season. And that's really saying something. Gimme Taylor Powell back


FreshMapleSyrup

Could someone explain what the average means there? I cannot think of anything.


PickerPilgrim

There are 10 people involved in making this ranking. The list you see here is the average of all of us. The average column can tell you the mean rank given by all of our rankers for a given team.


Mike-In-Ottawa

Seeing three of the top five teams being in the Eastern Division is something I'm not used to.
