CLA Power Rankings : Week 8
Return to Blog Home
There are no changes at the top of the Power rankings but don’t be surprised if it looks different next week. New West’s record is pretty impressive but there are definitely a few weak sisters in the West and right now any team in the East is capable of a victory on any given night. With only a couple of weeks left in the regular season the East is heading towards a much more exciting finish than the West where the 4 playoff teams are all but clinched. Coquitlam might give New West a fight for first but there is no way that any of the bottom three are going to overtake Burnaby or Victoria for the last playoff spot. In the East there is plenty of excitement. Although Brampton is home and cooled after clinching first place, St. Regis still has a possibility to take the all important 2nd place spot (and first round bye) from Peterborough. The more exciting battle will be for the final playoff spots as the remaining 4 teams all have legitimate chance for the final three playoff spots. My prediction for the week: Peterborough wins out to clinch 2nd and Six nations overtake Barrie for the last playoff spot.
