Week 11

Winnipeg 34-28 Edmonton
Ottawa 18-40 Saskatchewan
Hamilton 13-10 British Colombia
Montreal 28-22 Toronto (played in Moncton, NB)

Was an update at the Atlantic Showdown game from the proposed 10th team based out of Nova Scotia. Group behind the bid are looking at a 2021 join date.

The college season kicked off Friday. U Sports Football consists of 27 teams across 4 conferences playing an 8 game regular season with 10 teams making playoffs to contest the Vanier Cup (Quebec & Atlantic send two each due to smaller size whereas Ontario & West send 3 each).

The Laval Rogue et Or representing Université Laval are the most sucessful school with 10 Vanier Cups to their name & 2 final losses. The Western Ontario Mustangs of Western University in London, Ontario are 2nd overal with 7 Vanier Cups alongside 7 finals losses.

Week 13

British Columbia 16-21 Montreal

Montreal with an expected win. Toronto suprisingly scud Ottawa & no longer have the worst record in CFL. Winnipeg with a comfortable win in the Banjo Bowl with backup QB Chris Streveler impressing & being a great watch due to his strong running game. Calgary with the bragging rights in Alberta.

Ottawa @ British Colombia (Sat 1am)

Week 15

Calgary 23-16 Toronto
Hamilton 30-27 Edmonton
Winnipeg 37-38 Montreal
British Colombia 40-7 Ottawa

Some comeback from Montreal as they were down by 20 at the end of the 3rd and proceeded to score 21 unanswered points in the 4th not taking the lead until the last 10 seconds of the game. Vernon Adams has improved week on week & looks a qb Montreal can build on for the future as winning the Grey Cup may be a step too far this season for them. Not bad going considering Adams started season as backup to Antonio Pipkin (both part of Montreals qb shuffle thats been going on since 2013). Ottawa are rank rotten currently & could be in danger of getting surpassed by the Toronto Argos.

With how results went Winnipeg & Calgary have secured play-off berths in the west with Hamilton securing their spot in the east

Not CFL but still related to the 12 man version of the game so thought I would share, the high school across the park from where I live, Etobicoke CI, have over the summer been replacing their old Sunday league standard grass field with a beautiful AstroTurf field, the picture doesn't do it justice.

A little bit of movie trivia for you too, this is the school where much of the film Mean Girls was filmed .

Week 16

 

Hamilton 33-13 Winnipeg

Edmonton 21-16 Ottawa

Saskatchewan 41-16 Toronto

Montreal 23-25 British Colombia

 

Hamilton win with ease in Manitoba in a battle of division leaders. British Colombia continue their late season surge with a narrow win. Ottawa are shite & Toronto return to getting humped.

 

In the west bSaskatchewan secure their playoff berth taking the secured playoff spots to 4. Montreal should have no issue securing their spot given how bad Toronto & Ottawa are out west. With how shite the two are the final playoff will most likely go to the 4th ranked team in the west via the crossover rule (explained earlier in thread). Edmonton are currently 7-7 with BC on 4-10 but BC have won a few on the bounce & play the Argos next so if they can continue doing as they've done they could secure the crossover spot. Edmonton play BC week 18.

Week 17

 

Edmonton 12-42 Hamilton

Calgary 17-21 Montreal

Winnipeg 6-21 Sakatchewan

Toronto 8-55 British Colombia

 

BC with an emphatic win takes them to two games behind Edmonton for the crossover slot. Both play each other Saturday in a make or break game for BC. Strong showing by Hamilton as well who should clinch the eastern conference with ease all while using backup QB Dane Evans (Tulsa Hurricanes) since week 7.

 

Toronto in reaction to their dismal season & scuddings have emptied general manager Jim Popp. The Argos have also traded QB Zach Collaros to Winnipeg for an exchange of 2020 draft picks. Collaros had joined while on IR from Saskatchewan in July but never saw any playtime for the Argos. Winnipeg have opted for the trade as they are minus starting QB Matt Nichols for the season & backup Chris Strevler has lost 4 of the last 5.

 

Week 18 matches:

 

Ottawa vs Ottawa (Sat 12am)

Saskatchewan vs Calgary (Sat 2.30am)

Montreal vs Winnipeg (Sat 9pm)

British Colombia vs Edmonton (Sun 12am)

Week 18

Ottawa 21-28 Toronto
Saskatchewan 28-30 Winnipeg
Montreal 24-35 Edmonton
British Colombia 6-19 Edmonton

Battle for the last playoff berth in the west sees Edmonton see off BC despite their resurgence & ends the Lions playoff hopes. Battle of the two bottom feeders in the league sees Toronto win & go equal with Ottawa. Montreal losing secures Hamilton the east. Winnipegs win takes them closer to 2nd place Saskatchewan albeit Saskatchewan have played one game less.

Week 19

Toronto 24-27 Montreal
Saskatchewan 27-19 British Colombia
Ottawa 12-33 Hamilton
Winnipeg 33-37 Calgary

Nothing much to report with both division titles & playoff spots already sorted. All that remains is jostling over 2nd & 3rd spots in both divisions.

Two contrasting finals. In the east Hamilton comfortably see off the crossover interlopers. Out west it was a closer affair coming down to the end of the game. Within the last few minutes Saskatchewan had 2 different drives get into the red zone but Winnipeg's D held strong on both drives which saw a turnover of downs as Saskatchewan went for it on 3rd down to tie the game.

 

Stand alone Grey Cup preview coming tomorrow.

It'll get worse at half time. CFL has an association with shitey country music so this years half time show is Keith bloody Urban.

 

Andre Proulx is the umpire, I like him, he is the epitome of a bumbling polite Canadian.
