Stampede City: A new No. 1 in the Nissan Titan Power Rankings

CFL.ca

TORONTO — The Calgary Stampeders have taken over top spot in the Nissan Titan Power Rankings. After their impressive comeback in the final minutes of the fourth quarter to force overtime, the Stamps defeated the Lions 44-41 to take over top spot in the West.

The Toronto Argonauts jumped three spots after their impressive victory over the Ottawa REDBLACKS but will they continue their rise? Meanwhile, the Blue Bombers and Alouettes are also moving up after their Week 6 victories.

After the Stampeders’ thrilling overtime win this week, including a 15-point comeback in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter, Calgary is the new leader of the pack. Bo Levi Mitchell was the star of the show for the Stamps, throwing for 364 yards and three touchdowns, including two late in the fourth quarter. A home and home with Saskatchewan awaits.

Henry Burris was back behind centre for the first time since being sidelined in Week 1 but it wasn’t enough to avoid a 23-20 loss to the Toronto Argonauts this week. Burris and co. were no match for the strong outing from Toronto’s defence. The veteran pivot, and the rest of his team, will look to get back in the winning column when they take on the Edmonton Eskimos in Week 7.

Led by kicker Lirim Hajrullahu’s game winning field goal and A.J. Jefferson’s late fourth quarter interception to seal the victory, the Toronto Argonauts move up three spots in the Power Rankings. With the victory, the Argos moved into sole possession of first place in the East Division. Toronto will have the week off before returning to the gridiron in Week 8 to take on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Jonathon Jennings and his Lions had a tough task containing the Calgary Stampeders in Week 6, but despite their loss stayed in the same position in the Power Rankings. BC will hope to get back to its winning ways this week when taking on the Montreal Alouettes.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats remain static following their Week 6 bye. Head Coach Kent Austin reportedly confirmed that quarterback Zach Collaros will not play against the Blue Bombers this week, but that shouldn’t worry the Ticats. Jeremiah Masoli is coming off his record breaking performance in Week 5 and will hope to lead his Ticats to a victory in Winnipeg.

The Eskimos could only live off last year’s Grey Cup Championship for so long, and a 30-23 loss to Winnipeg in Week 6 was the tipping point, dropping them three spots in the Power Rankings. Derel Walker was a bright spot for the Esks, leading all receivers in the game with 11 receptions for 148 yards. Walker and the rest of his club will look to turn their luck around when they head to Ottawa to take on the REDBLACKS this week.

Quarterback Matt Nichols, starting in place of Drew Willy, had a solid first start for the Blue Bombers, helping to lead Winnipeg to its second victory of the season. The Bombers won the game but may have lost Weston Dressler for some time, who has reportedly been placed on the six-game injured list. Winnipeg will hope to win against the Ticats without its two top receivers this week.

The Montreal Alouettes’ defence held the Saskatchewan Roughriders to just three points in a 41-3 victory in Week 6, moving the Als up one spot in the Power Rankings. Montreal will hope to keep its winning streak alive against the BC Lions in Week 7.

This Week: 9 | Last Week: 7

A one-sided loss to Montreal in Week 6 has the Riders in the basement for the first time this season. Mitchell Gale, in his second start since replacing the injured Darian Durant, and his offence were no match for Kevin Glenn and company. Saskatchewan will hope to get back in the winning column against the Calgary Stampeders in Week 7.
