TORONTO — The Montreal Alouettes and the Ottawa REDBLACKS had their eyes on playoff positioning in Week 16.
With the Toronto Argonauts losing to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night and the Montreal Alouettes winning against the Ottawa REDBLACKS on Saturday, Montreal has clinched a home playoff date.
The following scenarios were in play this week:
EAST DIVISION
- MTL WIN and TOR LOSS = MTL clinches home playoff date
- OTT WIN = OTT clinches post-season berth
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.
