My summary of the neat graphic that they do at the bottom of the article:

• 3 teams (Lions, Argonauts, and Blue Bombers) have jockeyed for the top 3 spots so far. The last month or so it's been the Argonauts and Blue Bombers fighting for the top 2, as the Lions have cooled off a bit
• The Allouettes have surged from last place at the start of the season to comfortably occupying 4th for the last month
• The Redblacks were ranked low at the start of the year, came on strong in July, but have fallen towards the back of the pack. Can they Crumback?
• The Roughriders and Stampeders have been hovering around the 4th and 7th spots most of the year
• After holding onto the last spot for most of the season, the Elks have ascended up to the 6th spot
• The Tiger-Cats had a decent start but have more or less been in the 8th spot for 2 months

The Elks are understandably shaking things up a bit with all the losses piling up. Tre Ford sounds pretty promising, and a new OC seem like things Edmonton fans would be pretty excited about. I hope it works out for them tonight! Like a competitive game or better

Hi,

I'm new to CFL, and I wonder if there is an option to watch CFL games online?

After bribery and threats, @streetfestival has grudgingly acquiesced to help out with moderating here, especially with regards to the weekly threads and game threads.

A warm welcome to /u/streetfestival!

Having some interesting articles relevant to the CFL and other 3 down football is awesome, but not when the community is still small but growing. Those posts seem to take over, as there's at least two or three every day, and so that's all that ends being on the main page in the community. So, I may manually post some of the more interesting articles from that feed, but for now the rest of them are going to stop. Obviously, community members are encouraged to give any and all feedback on this and other matters.
