MLS Power Rankings, 1-30 | Matchday 11
Nobody in last week's top seven won, so we're not gonna see many shake-ups in the Rankings this week. Not enough POWER.
The pack bunched up this past week, as so:
None of the top 7 teams in the Shield standings won this weekend (Minnesota, New England & RSL all leapt Miami & Chicago). Gonna be fun complaints about the Power Rankings coming in the next 24 hours. I can feel it in my bones.

If I were to tier it, I really think there's no difference between the top five. I think Miami will eventually figure themselves out enough to live in that tier, too.
The next tier – Chicago, RSL, maaaaybe Minnesota and Dallas – is much smaller. And then everybody from like 11-24 is the same team, save for two outliers (Colorado & Cincy).
Everybody below that... yeeesh.
