The Saskatchewan Roughriders may not be able to get the 'best man for the job' to replace the retiring Ken Miller.

They may end up with the best man available.

The Roughriders are weeks ahead of the competition on the search for the head coach and finding that coach and hiring that coach before other teams figure out their future may be for the best.

Lets go through the candidates from west to east.

After going 1-1 last week, I'll try to maintain my mediocrity this week.

West Final: Edmonton @ B.C.

The hottest team in the CFL going into the playoffs has home field advantage, while the Eskimos are coming off a big win against Calgary but will be without running back Jerome Messam.

Usually in this space you'll find the Power Rankings. Well, a change for the playoffs as I'll put my neck out there and make my predictions.

West Semi-Final - Calgary @ Edmonton

The Battle of Alberta is once again a part of the playoffs. The last time these two teams went toe to toe in the playoffs was in 2009 when the Stampeders edged out Edmonton 24-21. But this time the game is being played at Commonwealth Stadium and the Eskimos should have the edge, although running back Jerome Messam's availability is in question.

Five teams are tied for top spot overall in the league. But I did this to myself.

I decided to provide my power rankings on a weekly basis, so I guess I'll grit my teeth and try to decide who's all powerful and who's just pretending in terms of these rankings. Thank goodness, the bottom isn't as tough to decide as the top.

The bottom two are pretty clear, however the Canadian Football League 2011 season is keeping to form as the teams who dominate can lay eggs and teams who have struggled start stringing wins together to make it really tough on people like me who try to rank teams on a weekly basis.

Well the Saskatchewan Roughriders have nowhere to go but in the basement. They've lost four straight. Toronto just beat Calgary so there's no denying it. The team that hasn't scored a touchdown in over a month hits rock bottom.

A few other teams switch spots as well.

Not much changes from Week 14 because all the good teams showed fairly well and the poor teams still look poor.

It's hard not to leave the seventh hole open and put the Roughriders and Argonauts in a tie for 8th.

The power is clearly shifting towards the two teams I originally had playing in the Grey Cup at the start of the season (B.C. and Montreal).

However, let's not look at how I thought the Roughriders were going to do this season. HINT: I was very, very wrong.

These power rankings took much deliberation.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders, who looked like a team climbing took a big step back in their run at the playoffs. The inconsistency across the league continues, which is a sign of parity. A good thing to have in a league but something that causes the fans of all eight teams to tear their hair out on a consistent basis.

The Canadian Football League is a close race in these rankings and because of that fact, the rankings more or less are taking season standings out of the equation because it's time two teams deserve the recognition of their recent winning streaks.

Other teams need to take a hit for their inconsistent play.

And one team, is ... well .... bad.
