There is a debate amongst the SBN MLS bloggers that concerns two things;
1- Are they snapshots of the current time, or attempts to predict the end of the season?
2- Is Red Bull actually any good?
My answers are for a prediction, and NO.
With New York Red Bull having a very tough schedule, their poor performance since adding their two new DPs and a historically shaky keeper I voted them in the 3rd tier with the Chicago Fire and Toronto FC. I like most voters put FC Dallas in Tier One, and had only three in Tier Two.
Tier Three for me is the one Eastern Conference Team that will finish 2nd in East and qualify.
Here's the overall rankings.
