How CFL Playoff Teams Are Seeded

The top three in each division qualify, ranked by points (two for a win, one for a tie). The division winner is seeded first and gets a bye; the second-place team hosts the third-place team in the Semi-Final. A fourth-place team with more points than the other division’s third-place team crosses over and takes that spot. Ties are broken by wins, head-to-head wins, head-to-head net points and net points.
