CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders didn't know if they were done for the year after their regular-season finale in the CFL. They avoided elimination from playoff contention with a 32-13 victory over the visiting B. C. Lions on Saturday, but will spend a few days in football limbo during a season-ending bye week awaiting the outcome of next Friday's game between the Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (8-9) to know their fate. Calgary (9-9) needs the team they just beat to defeat the Blue Bombers, which would vault the Stampeders into the post-season picture. It's an awkward head space for Stampeder coaches and players to be in as they have zero influence over their playoff chances now, and must depend on a divisional rival to do them a favour. "It's a little awkward," concurred Calgary's quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. "We could have helped ourselves out earlier in the year. You can't go back on it. It is what it is. We're just going to sit back and see what happens. "The Edmonton Elks (13-4) secured first in the West Division with Friday's win over the Blue Bombers, which also allowed the Lions (10-7) to clinch second. The Elks will host the division final Nov.

Stampeders not in control of their CFL playoff destiny as they visit Lions on TSN - TSN
TORONTO — The Calgary Stampeders will be playing for much more than the season series with the B. C. Lions on Saturday night. Calgary (8-9) hosts B. C. (10-6) with the two teams having split their previous two contests this season. The Lions can cement a home playoff game with a victory. Calgary doesn't control its playoff fate. It can neither clinch a post-season berth with a victory nor be eliminated from contention with a loss, thanks to last week's 33-28 setback to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. That loss gave Winnipeg the season series with Calgary 2-1. The Bombers split their series with Saskatchewan 1-1 but have a better point differential in those two contests, giving them the tiebreaker with the Riders. If Calgary beats B. C., there exists the possibility of a tie among three teams at 9-9 in the West Division. The tiebreaker would be combined head-to-head records involving the tied teams. Winnipeg would get third based upon a 3-2 record, Saskatchewan would be fourth (2-2) while Calgary (2-3) would finish fifth and out of the playoffs. If the Stampeders and Riders were to end the season with identical records, Calgary would finish ahead of Saskatchewan on point differential.
