Stamps can actually clinch a playoff spot in Week 16

The Calgary Stampeders are able to clinch a post-season position by beating the Toronto Argos.

From the league:

With a maximum of seven losses possible, Calgary (with a victory over Toronto) would clinch at least 4th place in the West on the basis of Edmonton and Winnipeg`s two remaining games against one another this season.

The CFL erred last week in stating the Stamps could book their spot on the 106th Grey Cup playoffs, but corrected the mistake.

Calgary sits at 10-2 leading the CFL with 20 points and holds a two-game lead on Saskatchewan for first place in the West with one game in hand. According to Sports Club Stats the Stampeders percentage chance to make the post-season is 100 which means it’s a mere formality as to when it happens. Even though Riders fans might feel the green and white still have a shot at first in the West.

And for Edmonton, B.C. and Winnipeg, Montreal and Toronto faithful, just a reminder about the crossover rule:

If the fourth-place team in division A has more points, not tied, than the third-place team in division B, the fourth-place team will cross over to division B, replace the third place team in division A, and compete against the second-place team of that division.

Check out the full team-by-team outlook on the CFL playoff race.
