My weekly MLS Power Poll is out. As with player ratings, this is just meant to start conversation and not to be taken too seriously.
We have a new leader at the top after Dallas was inexplicably hammered by Vancouver on Saturday. Atlanta United dropped, not because it tied Orlando City, but because New York Red Bulls and Sporting KC are playing so well.
Orlando City dropped because, while they earned a tie, they looked mostly toothless.
