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.

Were you as appalled when Calgary won the Grey Cup in 2001, coming off an 8-10 regular season record? It's a small league with over half the teams making the playoffs. I'm an Eskimos fan and I can't believe they're still in a position to qualify off the start they had, but it is what it is.
Some of the best stories in this league have been written by teams who "shouldn't have been there." Your Stamps in 2001 for one, and the 1981 Ottawa Rough Riders for another, who were within 3 pts of knocking off the Esks in the GC that year in a monumental upset after winning something like 5 games in the regular season.
