We are starting to see a beautiful sight with the ugly “BYE” beginning to disappear throughout the rankings, which means the real madness can now begin.
This week we will finally see action from CFC50 regulars Nelson, Catholic Central, South and A.B. Lucas, who will be looking to find a way into the top ten as Huron Heights and St. Marcellinus wait a little longer to start their regular season action.
In the meantime, Manitoba provided a glimpse of the incoming chaos as Vincent Massey took down their rivals from St. Paul’s, which is just another chapter in their long history of trading blows since 2015 as no other program has claimed the provincial title. Now the question is, will St. Paul’s have a chance to reclaim their crown at the end of the year, or is there another surprise waiting in Manitoba with Dakota Collegiate and Grant Park looking to shake up the hierarchy.
Quebec continues to be the most unpredictable province with another round of musical chairs in the rankings. Charles-Lemoyne have come alive in the past two weeks with another massive victory over Seminaire Saint-Francois, while Armand-Corbeil were able to hold on by the skin of their teeth in a 9-2 victory against Academie Saint-Louis. Then lurking in the shadows we have College Notre-Dame, who actually defeated Charles-Lemoyne in a slim 24-23 affair in week one, and continued their sneaky run into the top 20 with a 43-0 blowout against College-Jean-Eudes. Safe to say Quebec is providing a lot of headaches with the rankings this year, but we are not complaining about all the excitement.
The majority of programs were able to take care of business quite easily, including Cardinal Newman who finally saw action in a 28-8 victory over their local rival Bishop Ryan, Corpus Christi who got back on the field with a 27-0 victory over Asssumption, Notre Dame with 37-21 victory over Saint Paul, A.N. Myer with a 42-14 victory over Greater Fort Erie, and lastly Westmount snagging a 41-7 victory over Waterdown … It’s great to finally see movement again in Ontario, and the best is yet to come.
Three new teams join the top 50 club as Lord Tweedsmuir reclaimed their spot with a 27-8 win against Mission in B.C., Spruce Grove defeated former CFC50 ranked Ross Sheppard 24-21, while Holy Trinity out of Oakville become our first new Ontario team on the rankings this year after a demanding 53-8 win against St. Ignatius Loyola.

Who’s getting ranked?
For the tenth year in a row, Canadafootballchat.com (CFC) is pleased to bring you the national high school football rankings known as the CFC50.
The CFC50 rankings considers all conference and non-conference games (in Canada and the United States) while scrimmages are not evaluated (there is no such thing as an exhibition game – those are classified as non-conference games) and forfeit* wins are not considered towards overall record.
How is the CFC50 evaluated?
Leagues included in rankings: British Columbia AAA Varsity, Alberta Tier One, Saskatchewan 12-man rural / 6A / Schwann, Manitoba AAA Varsity, Ontario OFSAA Bowl AAA qualified teams, Quebec Juvenile Division 1, New Brunswick 12-man, Nova Scotia (all teams excluding CFC25 eligible teams).
The CFC50 is a RELATIVE RANKING that considers top tier leagues from all eight high school playing provinces (minimum one team represented from each province) and the strength of the league. Additional criteria used to determine the relative ranking are the ability to accomplish winning a championship, the impact players and performers on that team (ie. CFC100s, CDN All-Stars etc.), and a team’s coaching and recent tradition.
The CFC Scouting Bureau consists of CFC Reporters, CFC Scouts, and selected local reporters and scouts who submit local ranking results on a weekly basis. The CFC50 is released every Monday (other than on Holidays) at 12 noon.
