Luckily the CFL has divisions, not conferences
I still prefer the crossover over a single league-wide division. I guarantee if you got rid of it there'd be CFL bashers making fun of teams ranked 8th out of 9 in the league making the playoffs. Teams crossing over into the other 'half' of the league may not respect the purity of the "west" and "east" labels but it's a pragmatic solution to stay fair to the teams.
Either way, I don't get all these weird hangups people have. I've heard other people complain about the fact that one guy owns two teams in the league. Who cares? It's weird to me how much attention people pay to behind-the-scenes stuff like that in determining the worth of a sports league. Can't people just watch the game?
