AMSOIL Power Rankings: Where do the teams land ahead of Week 21?

TORONTO -- The final week of the regular season is here and that means one final AMSOIL Power Rankings.

The playoff picture is still yet to be determined, with the Bombers, Roughriders and Stampeders all looking to lock up one of the two final spots.

With plenty still on the line, where do the teams land this week?

Let's find out.

1. MONTREAL ALOUETTES

LAST WEEK: 1 LAST GAME: 16-12 LOSS TO SASKATCHEWAN NEXT GAME: AT TORONTO, OCTOBER 23

Worth noting: Montreal rested some of their key starters last weekend against the Roughriders, with quarterback Davis Alexander and receivers Tyson Philpot and Tyler Snead sitting the game out. Montreal still kept things close for most of the game, with Saskatchewan securing their only lead of the night on the game-winning score with under a minute on the clock. The Als will now head to Toronto to take on the Argonauts in their regular season finale before looking forward to hosting the Eastern Final on November 7.

2. BC LIONS

LAST WEEK: 2 LAST GAME: 32-13 LOSS TO CALGARY NEXT GAME: VS. WINNIPEG, OCTOBER 23

Worth noting: The BC Lions locked up the Western Semi-Final before they even hit the field on Saturday. Nathan Rourke only played half the contest before giving way to Kaidon Salter to close things out. The Lions have one final regular season home game this weekend, as they welcome the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, before setting their sights on hosting the Western Semi-Final on October 31.

3. EDMONTON ELKS

LAST WEEK: 3 LAST GAME: 35-27 WIN OVER WINNIPEG NEXT GAME: VS. SASKATCHEWAN, OCTOBER 24

Worth noting: With their win against Winnipeg on Friday night, the Edmonton Elks officially clinched the top of the West Division and now know they will host the Western Final on November 7. Justin Rankin was the offensive spark for the Elks, rushing for 133 yards on 23 carries, while Cody Fajardo scored four total touchdowns, two through the air and two on the ground. The defence played its part as well, hauling in two timely interceptions. The team will host the Riders in their final regular season game.

4. TORONTO ARGONAUTS

LAST WEEK: 4 LAST GAME: 40-39 LOSS TO OTTAWA NEXT GAME: VS. MONTREAL, OCTOBER 23

Worth noting: Chad Kelly left last weekend's game against the Ottawa REDBLACKS with an injury and Nick Arbuckle finished the contest for the Double Blue. Kelly's status is unknown as of this writing as the Argos prepare for their final home game of 2026. Toronto is 4-1 at home this season. Can they add one more win in the regular season before they set their sights on hosting the Eastern Semi-Final on October 31?

5. CALGARY STAMPEDERS

LAST WEEK: 6 LAST GAME: 32-13 WIN OVER BC NEXT GAME: N/A

Worth noting: With their win over the BC Lions, the Calgary Stampeders kept their playoff hopes alive. That helped to move the Stamps up one spot in this week's AMSOIL Power Rankings. Now that the Stamps are on a Week 21 bye, all they can do is sit and watch this weekend and hope not to be the odd team out and either become the crossover team or play in the Western Semi-Final against BC.

6. WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS

LAST WEEK: 5 LAST GAME: 35-27 LOSS TO EDMONTON NEXT GAME: AT BC, OCTOBER 23

Worth noting: Winnipeg is one of three teams still awaiting their playoff fates. Coming off a loss to Edmonton, the Bombers will be hoping for a better outcome this weekend as they visit the BC Lions. Can Zach Collaros and co. get back in the win column and become either the crossover team or secure third and play BC again next week in the Western Semi-Final?

7. SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS

LAST WEEK: 7 LAST GAME: 16-12 WIN OVER MONTREAL NEXT GAME: VS. EDMONTON, OCTOBER 24

Worth noting: It took until the final few plays of the game to get it done, but the Saskatchewan Roughriders clinched a playoff spot in dramatic fashion. With 40 seconds left on the clock, Trevor Harris took off for a 22-yard run before the veteran quarterback found KeeSean Johnson in the end zone on the very next play for the game-winning touchdown. With a playoff berth secured, the Riders now host the Edmonton Elks on Saturday afternoon.

8. HAMILTON TIGER-CATS

LAST WEEK: 8 LAST GAME: 27-12 LOSS TO EDMONTON NEXT GAME: VS. OTTAWA, OCTOBER 24

Worth noting: The Tiger-Cats return from a Week 20 bye ready to play in their season finale in front of a home crowd. Hamilton lost to the Edmonton Elks the last time they hit the field, and will hope a week of rest can help to turn things around to close out 2026 in front of their fans at Hamilton Stadium this weekend.

9. OTTAWA REDBLACKS

LAST WEEK: 9 LAST GAME: 40-39 WIN OVER TORONTO NEXT GAME: VS. HAMILTON, OCTOBER 24

Worth noting: It took until Week 20, but the Ottawa REDBLACKS finally got their first win of the 2026 season. The win was in exciting fashion as well, with rookie quarterback Bryson Barnes playing hero late in the game. With just nine seconds on the clock, Barnes found Ayden Eberhardt for the game-winning score. With just one game left on their schedule for this year, Ottawa will look to build on that win this weekend in Hamilton as they meet the Tiger-Cats on Saturday afternoon.
