#CFL Elo ratings after week 18. The top has separated into three groups now, though Winnipeg's bigger loss pushed it below Sask. BC and Montreal are tied, both pulling ahead of an idle Edmonton. A few tight races with only three weeks left until the playoffs.

Are you sure you're not mixing that one up with the one that goes G-D-Em-C? I think that one was about having a good time. Maybe at a party?

If the Saskatchewan Roughriders lose to Edmonton in the final game of the season, they will have lost the season series against each Western team. Not a great recipe for making the playoffs.

#CFL Elo ratings after week 17. No team moved between clumps, but the clumps tightened up. Some *very* tight races down the stretch. (And as a Riders fan, this is the lowest they've been since week 16 in 2024).

#CFL Elo ratings after week 16. Two clumps, but any wins or losses by any of those teams would probably bump them into the other. And then we have Hamilton. And Ottawa. I mean, it *can* get worse, but not by much.

If they had made Orcs able to be Druids instead of Mages, each race would've gotten one extra class, and each class would've gotten one extra race. Instead we get this.

Several of those only played for the Lakers. Which leads me to a longer question: For all the franchises, which player is the best that only played for that franchise? Dirk is obvious for the Mavs, Tim Duncan for the Spurs. But who would it be for the Raptors? The Bulls? The Blazers?

#CFL Elo ratings after week 15. Edmonton's beatdown and Montreal's loss means we have a new leader. But unless Edmonton keep winning, Montreal could come back. Ottawa's still sinking, and I'm kind of curious about what the Elo rating of an 0-18 team would look like. Sub-1000?

In 1907, a large bridge in Quebec collapsed due to poor engineering, costing 76 people their lives. From this wreckage, iron rings were made, given to graduating engineers as a reminder to always put safety over money. Today, the iron rings are no longer from the bridge, but the reminder remains.

#CFL Elo ratings after week 14. Some separation up top, 5 more bunched together, and the 2 more way down there. And for all the prognosticators that say Ottawa has to win one sometime ... does next year count?

#CFL Elo ratings after week 13. Montreal lost, but they're still in first. Winnipeg beat them but are still in 7th place. BC, Calgary, and Sask all gained the same amount (more or less), but couldn't quite catch Edmonton. Ottawa ... oh man.

#CFL Elo ratings for week 12. Montreal's movement was small because they and Ottawa already had a huge Elo difference. Edmonton's movement was small because their victory was narrow. BC's win got them to 3rd, beating Sask who dropped down to 6th (Toronto squeaked in there).

#CFL Elo ratings after week 11. Montreal on top, 7 teams within 120 points of each other, and Ottawa at the bottom. But BC was in a similar position last year before reeling of several wins in a row and finishing as the Elo leader. So don't take anything for granted.

#CFL Week 10 Elo ratings. Montreal builds on its lead, Ottawa continues to fall. This is the fastest the Elo spread has gotten over 300 points (it's also the longest any teams has gone without a win). But remember Elo rating only goes back to 2024, so not much historical context.

#CFL Elo ratings after week 8. Starting to see some separation at the top, but 20 Elo points can can be erased pretty quick. The 234 points separating Ottawa and Montreal might be the largest between competitors we've ever seen. If Ottawa wins ... big swing.
