RWB CFL podcast #296: Talking crossover, inevitably…

2025-08-19

After week 11 of the 2025 CFL season, certain things have become quite clear at the Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast … things Like the Saskatchewan Roughriders may be even better than advertised; the (defending champion!) Toronto Argonauts might be worse than we thought; and, of course, the seeming inevitability of the West-to-East crossover come playoff time.

After week 11 of the 2025 CFL season, certain things have become quite clear at the Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast … things Like the Saskatchewan Roughriders may be even better than advertised; the (defending champion!) Toronto Argonauts might be worse than we thought; and, of course, the seeming inevitability of the West-to-East crossover come playoff time.

The realization leads to some classic CFL-based conversation by RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard – the RWB questions whether the crossover is in itself fair for the no. 2 and no. 3 West seeds. And while one easy solution might just be to add a 10th team, Joe presents an intriguing case as to why adding the Atlantic Schooners, Halifax Fighting Lobsters or whomever might actually be a *bad* move for the league.

But beyond the tangents, the RWB guys (attempt to) make sense of the week that was and pick/predict week 12, including an RWB Bowl matchup featuring the Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs the Montreal Alouettes (with quite possibly QB #5 going for the latter) and a marquee Riders-Calgary Stamps game.
