Every match ended in a draw this week.  But who will climb and who will slide?

1. New England Revolution. Previous Ranking: #1.  Bye this week, in which they cruised through Superliga's first round. - Hart

2. Columbus Crew. Previous Ranking: #2.  Still getting results and fighting in friendlies. - Enger

3. Chicago Fire. Previous Ranking: #3.  Diving in a stadium near you! - Enger

4. Real Salt Lake. Previous Ranking: #5.  Holding on to first place by virtue of their extra match played. - Hart

5. Los Angeles Galaxy. Previous Ranking: #6.  Both scoring and giving up goals at a frantic pace.  I love it.  - Enger

6. DC United. Previous Ranking: #4.  Bye this week, in which they crashed out of Superliga's first round. - Hart

7. Houston Dynamo. Previous Ranking: #9.  They are getting hot at the right time and getting pieces together for their playoff run. - Enger

8. Toronto FC. Previous Ranking: #8.  Fortress BMO remains intact. - Hart

9. Kansas City Wizards. Previous Ranking: #7.  Three-goal outburst at Columbus could kick-start the attack. - Hart

10. Chivas USA. Previous Ranking: #10.  Not quite as unpredictable as their cross-town rivals, but close. - Hart

11. Colorado Rapids. Previous Ranking: #11.  The "Two-Face" of this league.  They look amazing, then horrible. - Enger

12. New York Red Bulls. Previous Ranking: #12.  Gives up a brutal late equalizer against LA.  Terrible.  - Enger

13. FC Dallas. Previous Ranking: #13. Only five points out of first place.  And only five points out of last place. - Hart

14. San Jose Earthquakes. Previous Ranking: #14. The 'Quakes have scored more than three times fewer goals than LA. - Hart

The Notes have returned thanks to reader Ryan, who reassured me that someone actually does read them!

Biggest Climber: Houston Dynamo (2 spots)

Biggest Slider: DC United, Kansas City Wizards (2 spots)

Of Note: All draws this week, and the top 3 and bottom 5 all stayed the same as last week.  In the middle 6, however... Houston and DC United were clearly awarded and punished, respectively, for their performances in Superliga.  Kansas City strangely dropped two spots despite putting up three and earning a draw at our #2 team, Columbus.
