Congrats to Tom Davis and Ed Mikhli...

For winning the regular season title in their respective conferences. Tom dominated the NFC and finished with a perfect 14-0 record with his 1991 Washington Redskins. The Fun Bunch and the Hogs helped propel Tom into 1st and keep him there. By week number 8 all he was playing for was a date with destiny. No CFL team has ever finished 14-0. In the CFL's second season the 1958 Colts finished 12-0, but they played 2 games less than the Skins and played against slightly lesser competition. Ed Mikhli finished in a 3 way tie for first place with his 1990 Raiders. Having led the conference for most of the season despite the absence of star half back Bo Jackson, Mikhli had his team well in control until the final weeks when the wheels seemed to lose some air. Still his team was better than the '90 Bills and '94 Steelers as he beat those two teams out for first via the tie breaker system. All 3 finished with identical 10-4 records.


On a side note, poor Stu Geller, won 9 games with his 1991 Oilers, but was shut out of the playoff picture. This is another CFL first. No 9 win team has ever been eliminated from the post season. Stu coached his butt off, but as he said, "it's hard to win with a one dimensional team vs this type of competition".


The playoffs will begin this week. The wild card match ups are:

AFC: 1990 Buffalo @ 1994 Pittsburgh
NFC: 1994 San Fran @ 1990 Philadelphia
