Last Week’s Ranking in Parenthesis…

Chicago (3): How do you seize No. 1 with a tie? Do it on the road without your two best defenders, that’s how. Seattle (7): From last to second in two weeks. Wow. If they convincingly beat Toronto this week, they will be No. 1. Chivas USA (5): Back-to-back wins has Preki feeling good about his ”no name” squad, and I like them too. Columbus (1): After back-to-back ties, Columbus has slipped from its perch. Their schedule now becomes brutal. Toronto (6): Toronto FC should maybe be even higher up. A well-fought draw and a win have them off to a hot start. New England (8): Two gutsy performances in a row (without many starters) has the New England Revolution rising up the ranks. Houston (2): A very tough loss for Houston drops them a ton and their schedule isn’t going to get any easier. Salt Lake (4):  Real Salt Lake falls far due to their loss to Seattle Sounders. But they will be at home this week, so I think they’ll rise. San Jose (15): Want to climb up quick? Beat last year’s West Champ by scoring three goals, and you do it. Colorado (14): Colorado has some spunk. A nice win in their home opener has pushed them into the Top 10. D.C. (12): Two weeks, two draws for DC United. They haven’t looked poor, but they have been mediocre thus far. New York (11): They outplayed NER for 89 minutes. But an unfortunate tie at home moves them down again. L.A. (13): They didn’t play, so they don’t move this week in the rankings. I still don’t think too much of them. Kansas City (9): Kansas City hasn’t looked poor, but the results (two losses) have landed them all the way down here. Dallas (10): Dallas has looked terribly bad. If not for Cooper’s 60 yarder last week, they would still have zero goals.
