The SBNhanced MLS Power Rankings are a collaborative effort by SBN's soccer bloggers to rank the MLS teams each week.
Week 6 rankings. Updated 5/4/10.
No, it isn't time to panic, nor to throw in the towel, but a break out performance at home against the Galaxy would certainly move a lot of needles, and with them coming off of the Cinco de Mayo Quatro there is a chance.
It is notable that Sagarin has 6 of the top 9 teams as being from the West, as do we.
Thoughts on this week's rankings?
I personally put the Rapids over the Dynamo based on the Houston side's injuries.
