Only in the 2008 playoffs. The CFL has an East and a West division, comprising 4 teams apiece. The team with the best regular season record in each division automatically gains a berth in their division final, while the 2nd and 3rd place teams play off in the division semi-final. If the 4th place team from either division has a better regular season record than the 3rd place team from the opposite division, that team "crosses over" to play in that division's semi-final. This means that any two teams in the league can potentially meet one another in the Grey Cup Championship game. To use the 2008 example, although Edmonton (10-8) finished in 4th place in the CFL West division in 2008, their overall record was better than that of Toronto (4-14) who finished 3rd in the East. As per the CFL playoff format, Edmonton "crossed over" to play 2nd place East team Winnipeg (8-10) in the East semi-final. They won that game, but lost to the Montreal Alouettes in the East final. Had Edmonton defeated Montreal in the East final, it could have set up an all-West (indeed, all-Alberta) Grey Cup game, as the Calgary later earned a berth in the Grey Cup by defeating B.C. in the West final.

Which eastern conference CFL team used to be in the west?
Edmonton Eskimos ================== Wrong. Winnipeg Blue Bombers. I think this is the third time the Bombers have been in the Eastern Conference. On each occasion, it has been because one of the four Eastern teams folded. The above answer of the Edmonton Eskimos was probably given as a result of confusion. The Eskies this year (2008) became entitled to bump the third place Eastern team out of a playoff spot. (This is called the crossover.) But the Green and Gold remain in the Western Conference.
