Replacement*

one of the best things the league could do is to get rid of the separate divisions.
it's a 9 team league. have one division where the top 6 get to have playoffs.
simple.
In the Edmonton sun, Gerry Moddejonge also asks if Reilly should really be playing this weekend.
Theres no way that the crossover team should have to be BETTER than the East team.
West teams are of course penalized with this transaction. Its one more in a forever series of the CFL catering to the remaining east clubs in anyway they can.
You can bet that if the Eastern division was stronger this crossover rule would be changed to team that has better record in head to head matchups wins tie in crossover.
Some of us who are old enough remember when the West clubs in the playoffs would play 2 game total pts or even 2 out of 3 matchups, lol, while the East teams had less playoff games and would head into the Grey Cup(usually played in the East) as the well rested team while Western Clubs were bruised, injured, and battered.
Anyway, we're the west, we're used to getting screwed by the East, why should the CFL be any different?
