Again i hope the CFL change their playoff format because as of now 1 of the Western team will not make the playoff even though the first place team in the East Toronto have 2 less wins than BC, Winnipeg and Sask. CFL can still keep the two division team but the Top 6 team can make the playoff based on the points. For example after Week 8 Calgary would be #1 and Edmonton #2 and both teams will have a bye. #3 goes to Sask, 4 BC 5 Wpg and 6 Toronto. Hamilton, Montreal and Ottawa would have miss the playoff.
QTR series :
Saskatchewan(3) vs Toronto(6)
BC Lions(4) vs Winnipeg(5)
Semi :
Calgary(1) vs the lowest seeded team. ie: if Toronto upset Saskatchewan, Stamps will play Toronto. If Sask wins, then Stamps will play the winner of BC vs Wpg.
Edmonton(2) vs Sask if they beat Toronto, if not they'll play the winner of BC and Wpg game.
Grey Cup :
Winners of Semi games. Who cares about the East vs West Grey Cup.
I think that is a pretty simple solutions. It'll bring some excitement to the finish rather than the East team losing interest. Grey Cup will also be a good match especially if the Top 2 teams makes it. Unfortunately, the owners might not go for that idea. They will probably try to keep the East vs West Final.
