| The Los Angeles Galaxy Retain the Top Spot For the 2nd Week In a Row! |
The Los Angeles Galaxy and FC Dallas continue on their great runs of form, while big away wins help the Philadelphia Union and D.C. United make big jumps in this weeks rankings.
I heavily weight away wins in my rankings, and correspondingly home losses. With the exception of the top two teams (Galaxy and FC Dallas) and the bottom three (Chicago, Vancouver, Sporting KC) five teams getting away wins shook the rankings up this week.

My Week 11 Major League Soccer Power Rankings (wins-losses-draws) UP or DOWN from last week:
1) LA Galaxy, Western Conference (8-2-5) 29 points
Two wins this week including one at New England solidifies the Galaxy as the top team in the MLS.
2) FC Dallas, Western Conference (6-3-4) 22 points
A midweek victory at Seattle and a draw at rival Houston make FC Dallas the second hottest team in the MLS behind the Galaxy.
3) Philadelphia Union, Eastern Conference (6-3-2) 20 points UP
3) Philadelphia Union, Eastern Conference (6-3-2) 20 points UP
The Union jumps six spots after trouncing Toronto FC in Toronto.
4) Seattle Sounders FC, Western Conference (5-4-5) 20 points
Seattle makes up for a midweek home loss to Dallas by beating Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto, ending Real Salt Lake's 29 game home unbeaten streak.
5) Portland Timbers, Western Conference (5-4-2) 17 points DOWN
D.C. United gets a win at Jeld-Wen, first visitor to beat the Timbers there this year.
6) D.C. United, Eastern Conference (4-4-3) 15 points UP
A win at Jeld-Wen gives D.C. United a four game unbeaten streak.
7) San Jose Earthquakes, Western Conference (3-4-4) 13 points UP
6) D.C. United, Eastern Conference (4-4-3) 15 points UP
A win at Jeld-Wen gives D.C. United a four game unbeaten streak.
7) San Jose Earthquakes, Western Conference (3-4-4) 13 points UP
Also on a four game unbeaten streak.
8) Colorado Rapids, Western Conference (4-3-6) 18 points DOWN
On a seven game unbeaten streak, the last five being draws.
9) Chivas USA, Western Conference (3-4-4) 13 points DOWN
10) Real Salt Lake, Western Conference (5-2-2) 17 points DOWN
A home loss?!?! That aside, Real Salt Lake has looked very pedestrian in their last five matches.
11) Columbus Crew, Eastern Conference (3-3-5) 14 points UP

11) Columbus Crew, Eastern Conference (3-3-5) 14 points UP
12) New York Red Bulls, Eastern Conference (4-2-6) 18 points DOWN
On a current run of poor form. When was the last time the Red Bulls won a match? (Hint: it wasn't in May.)
13) Houston Dynamo, Eastern Conference (3-4-6) 15 points UP
14) Toronto FC, Eastern Conference (2-5-6) 12 points DOWN
13) Houston Dynamo, Eastern Conference (3-4-6) 15 points UP
14) Toronto FC, Eastern Conference (2-5-6) 12 points DOWN
6-2? At home?
15) New England Revolution, Eastern Conference (3-5-4) 13 points DOWN
With the Chicago Fire, Vancouver Whitecaps and Sporting KC all getting draws this week, my bottom three don't change. Chicago and Vancouver both fire their coaches, but Sporting must feel OK, as they were on a five game losing streak.
