| Joshua Mayers' MLS power rankings | |
| Rankings run Wednesdays during the regular season | |
| Team (prev. rank) | Comment |
| 1. L.A. Galaxy (1) | Blowing a lead against 10-man Chivas was not expected in Sunday's SuperClasico |
| 2. Montreal (9) | Many have the 3-0 Impact ranked No. 1; opponents have combined for just one win, though |
| 3. Vancouver (4) | One of two perfect teams in MLS takes to the road for the first time Sat. at the Dynamo |
| 4. San Jose (3) | Just one goal (a PK) in three games? Wondolowski hasn't looked his dangerous self |
| 5. Houston (2) | Brad Davis was a late call-up to the USMNT, meaning he'll be out versus Whitecaps |
| 6. Sporting K.C. (5) | Just 3 of 20 shots against Chicago were on target. Numbers were worse for Fire (1 of 7) |
| 7. Sounders FC (6) | Moves have continued well into the season with Martins' signing, Johansson's expect release |
| 8. D.C. United (7) | De-Ro returned, but the offense could manage only five shots last week in New York |
| 9. Real Salt Lake (8) | Costa Rican Alvaro Saborio, a recent international call-up, has all three of the team's goals |
| 10. Philadelphia (12) | Bakary Soumare is already asking to be traded, and it looks like he'll get his wish |
| 11. Columbus (11) | Goals scored the past two weeks were followed almost immediately by goals allowed |
| 12. FC Dallas (16) | Tied atop the West with two wins, but might've benefited from a bad call to beat Houston |
| 13. N.Y. Red Bulls (10) | Outshot D.C. by 19. Couldn't get any of 24 attempts past goalkeeper Bill Hamid, however |
| 14. Chivas USA (15) | Controversial red card to Joaquin Velasquez was overturned by an independent review panel |
| 15. New England (13) | Team has one goal in three games. Saer Sene can't return from injury soon enough |
| 16. Toronto FC (14) | Play, if not results, has looked better under Ryan Nelsen. LA visits next after a bye week |
| 17. Portland (17) | What made its fans happier: Getting a point in Seattle or taking two from the Sounders? |
| 18. Colorado (19) | Will be without starting goalkeeper Matt Pickens for 3-4 months with a broken arm |
| 19. Chicago (18) | Sure, they got a tie in KC, but the only team without a goal this season deserves last |
