Today I learned (rather remembered) that the CFL has a dumb (yet in this case good) rule about the standings- the crossover.
Quote:

The second-place team from each division hosts the third-place team in the division semifinal, unless a fourth-place team from one division finishes with a better record than a third place team in the other.

So now the BC Lions - the westernmost team in the CFL, is playing in the Eastern Conference because we did marginally better than a team in the East.
I am now a fan of this rule.
