I love the CFL and have for decades...going back to the 1970 Grey Cup as my first clear recollection of watching it. Also I remember the division semi finals were best of 3 game affairs. Still remember Larry Robinson (most underrated player in Stamps history BTW) kicking the last second FG in Regina during a blizzard (coldest game ever IIRC) to send the Stamps to the GC, because it gave the Stamps a 2-1 series win....and it was the 3rd game in 8 days.

I also recall that the West teams played 16 games during the season and the East only 14. Weird for sure, but its just how the CFL rolled back then.

That being said, its truly embarressing that either the Eskimos or the Lions will be a playoff team this year. Particularly the Esks if they make it. Right now they sit at a
-168 pt PF/PA differential. Thats atrocious...worst in the league by a mile. Yet i believe they will get in...bush league stuff there. Though I admit I have no idea how to makle it any better other than eliminating 2 PO spots and just having the top 2 teams play for the division crown and then go to the GC.
