Once a week, CBCsports.ca breaks down the balance of power in the Canadian Football League.

	1. MONTREAL ALOUETTES [unchanged] Overall record: 11-2 Streak: Four wins Not often you see Anthony Calvillo glare at anyone, but he had the offensive line in his sights after getting sacked four times in a half by Toronto.
	2. CALGARY STAMPEDERS [unchanged] Overall record: 8-5 Streak: Two wins Not a big fan of mid-season "statement games" but the trip to Montreal for Thanksgiving this week does look to be fun. Have to get the offence untracked again.
	3. SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS [unchanged] Overall record: 7-6 Streak: One loss Once again, without running back Wes Cates chugging along, things are worrisome. The Argos defence is coming in and they'll be a challenge. And a win for the green and white.
	4. B.C. LIONS [up from 6] Overall record: 6-7 Streak: One win QB Buck Pierce may be held together with bubble gum, string and a prayer, but he can hump that ball downfield. Good old coach Wally. Always an answer.
	5. EDMONTON ESKIMOS [down from 4] Overall record: 6-7 Streak: Two losses Letting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers back into the playoff picture was dumb. And embarrassing. Did we say dumb?
	6. HAMILTON TIGER-CATS [down from 5] Overall record: 6-7 Streak: Two losses The Kitties' biggest game in over five years comes up on Thanksgiving Day at home against Winnipeg. Must win. Must.
	7. WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS [unchanged] Overall record: 5-8 Streak: Two wins Smoke? Mirrors? Coach Mike Kelly sold his soul to the devil? Next game against Hamilton will tell the tale.
	8. TORONTO ARGONAUTS [unchanged] Overall record: 3-10 Streak: Three losses An epiphany came to us this past weekend. Next year, Bart Andrus as head coach and Matt Dunigan as offensive co-ordinator. Seriously.
