From the gridiron to winter Olympic sports, here are a few things for Canadians to keep an eye on: Football: It's playoff time in Canada Saturday is a big day for three-down football as the CFL playoffs begin and the Canadian university post-season ramps up across the country.
In the CFL, Toronto hosts Ottawa in the East Division semifinal at 3 p.m. ET, with the winner travelling to Montreal next week to face the Grey Cup champions.
The West semifinal has Saskatchewan hosting B.C. at 6:30 p.m. ET for the chance to take on Winnipeg. All eight U Sports conference semifinals take place Saturday as well.
Defending Vanier Cup champion Montreal, ranked No. 1 in the country, and No. 3 Laval should be able to set up a showdown in next week's Quebec final as they both face weak opponents.
