TORONTO — The Ottawa REDBLACKS could become the second team in the CFL to punch their ticket to the post-season this weekend.
If Ottawa defeats the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday afternoon at Tim Hortons Field, the REDBLACKS will be in the playoffs for the first time since 2018.
The following playoff scenario is in play this week:
EAST DIVISION
- OTT WIN = OTT clinches post-season berth
- A victory would eliminate the possibility of a potential West-to-East crossover impacting the REDBLACKS.
WEST DIVISION
- No team can clinch a playoff spot this week
CROSSOVER RULE
If the fourth-place team in Division A – A4 – has more points than the third-place team in Division B – B3 (they cannot be tied), A4 will cross over and take the place of B3 in terms of playoff seeding. A4 will then compete against B2 in the Division B Semi-Final.
PLAYOFF PICTURE
- In Week 13, Montreal clinched a playoff berth for a fifth-straight season.
