The Rouge et Or were supposed to be here but not here. A down 6-10 regular season in the RSEQ and a loss in the semifinal meant they were left to sit and wait for an expected loss to a provincial champion in the top seed. In a matchup against the AUS champion Dalhousie Tigers, it looked like Laval might not do the unthinkable. For the second time in the last three years, the eighth seed will play for the national title.
