This month will be critical to determine the play off seeding in the West. As a result you will want to consider playoff scenearios when these teams meet up.
As it stands the West looks like this:
CGY 9-4
BC 8-5
SASK 7-5
ED 7-5.
With two points seperating the teams take a look at remaining sch'ds and potential finishing positions.
CGY 13-5 or 12-6 - @ ssk, SSK, WINN, @ ham, BC - I think they go 4-1 or 3-2, the only problem is CGY holds the tie breaker over BC winning the first two games. So the last game maybe redundant if if CGY goes 4-0 in leading up to that game. However is SSK somehow manages a split or CGY turns up flat in hamilton (like last year) that game could have meaning.
BC 12-6 or 13-5 - @ tor, ED, @ ed, TOR, @ cgy - I think 4-1 looks good here - That is considering a split in with edmonton but if BC sweeps all the way to the CGY game that game could end up being for 1st.
SASK 10-7 - CGY, @ cgy, HAM, ED, @ to - I think 3-2 is a definate, maybe 4-1 is they can a manage a miracle split with CGY. Sask will get healthy as the season winds down I can see them finishing strong.
ED 10-7 - WINN, @ bc, BC, @ sask, MONT - I think 2-3 but maybe 3-2 is possible. Week 17 vs Sask could be interesting would you lose the game in order to cross over? Face it I would rather go to Winnipeg than BC or CGY for a play off game.
Trying to sort out playoffs and tiebreaker scenarios goes as follows.

the way to read this chart the top row is who holds the tie break over the side row.
IE ED has 2 wins 1 loss vs CGY and +19 differential therefore they hold the tie break.
So Edmonton holds the tie break over CGY 2-1 in games
The have 2 games with BC left so a split in games with the lions will bring points into play currently they have +5 advantage
Vs Sask the winner of their last H2H holds the break.
Points for and Agst may come into play as the final games finish up. For example points may matter more than a win or loss.
Food for thought
As it stands the West looks like this:
CGY 9-4
BC 8-5
SASK 7-5
ED 7-5.
With two points seperating the teams take a look at remaining sch'ds and potential finishing positions.
CGY 13-5 or 12-6 - @ ssk, SSK, WINN, @ ham, BC - I think they go 4-1 or 3-2, the only problem is CGY holds the tie breaker over BC winning the first two games. So the last game maybe redundant if if CGY goes 4-0 in leading up to that game. However is SSK somehow manages a split or CGY turns up flat in hamilton (like last year) that game could have meaning.

ED 10-7 - WINN, @ bc, BC, @ sask, MONT - I think 2-3 but maybe 3-2 is possible. Week 17 vs Sask could be interesting would you lose the game in order to cross over? Face it I would rather go to Winnipeg than BC or CGY for a play off game.
Trying to sort out playoffs and tiebreaker scenarios goes as follows.
- The CFL uses head-to-head records to break ties, so if three teams finish with identical records, the records among the tied teams will determine the order of finish.
- If that doesn't settle matters, aggregate points among the tied teams will come into play.

the way to read this chart the top row is who holds the tie break over the side row.
IE ED has 2 wins 1 loss vs CGY and +19 differential therefore they hold the tie break.
So Edmonton holds the tie break over CGY 2-1 in games
The have 2 games with BC left so a split in games with the lions will bring points into play currently they have +5 advantage
Vs Sask the winner of their last H2H holds the break.
Points for and Agst may come into play as the final games finish up. For example points may matter more than a win or loss.
