Sandra's WK11 CFL Power Grouping

Welcome to ABC Football and my Week 11 CFL Power Grouping.  If you've never visited before let me tell you how my "ranking" differs from others.  It's not a ranking from 1-9.  Instead teams are given a grade and grouped according to A, B or C.  I started doing Power Grouping after disagreeing with one Belton Johnson about his own ranking.  The doodles or Garfunkel's as I've come to call them evolved over time as a fun addition.  Sports is fun and football is fun so why not have a little fun when it comes to grading out our CFL teams, right?

Week 11 Garfunkel

Check the Garfunkel tab for passed weeks!

Group A - Frappucino

Treat yourself to the expensive $5 fancy whipped topping with sprinkles coffee treat Group A!  The Blue Bombers without Matt Nichols found a way to win against the Edmonton Eskimos.  I hope they give Willie Jefferson all the kudos because it certainly wasn't due to the Streveler led offence.  Over at ABC Rider Fans we were all poking jokes about the debacle the NFL preseason game was and now with the news that Andrew Harris has been suspended for 2 games, will the defence continue to step up?  Can the team shake off adversity? Is the run game the same threat?  What happened to the Streveler we saw early in the season?  All will be answered at the Labour Day Classic in Regina.  Speaking of the Riders, how about that Cody Fajardo?!  He continues to evolve, see the field, throw a great spiral and it's so easy to jump on the #7 bandwagon.  Who wore that number again?  Thank you defence for those 3 turnovers.  I wish I could provide analysis for the Hamilton Tigercats but because I was enroute from Regina to Saskatoon I cannot except that it sounded like a boring game...or was it a defensive battle too?

Group B - The Double Double

How much fun is it to watch this Montreal Alouettes team right now?  Double the pleasure double the fun or something like that.  Vernon Adams Jr sure has risen to the occasion and had me jumping out of my chair on that double reverse play.  As an ex Oregon Duck he's used to running plays like that and it's so much fun to watch for us fans too.  He reminded me a bit of another "doubles" in the way he carried himself.  The Edmonton Eskimos saw a bad Trevor Harris show up along with what appears bad offensive calls.  You can't win games on field goals alone.  The Stampeders were on Bye Week this week.  How will they emerge in the Battle of Alberta?  That's actually in Alberta, right?  Not Winnipeg?

Group C - Home Brew

The Argonauts seem so close to being a winning team.  McBLT has really come along these last two games and I think that's the influence of Zach Collaros on the sidelines, who by the way, we have yet to see in an Argo's uniform.  The Touchdown Atlantic game was a great one and both the Argos and Als put on a great show.  Let's hope their influence and excitement was felt.  The Ottawa Redblacks had some issues on Saturday.  I was thinking it was going to be a much closer game against the Greenwhites but when Davis turned the ball over 3 times early in the game and the team had to resort to putting Jennings in you knew things were not going to go their way.  The BC Lions.  What can be said?  They are just brutal right now.
