It's Monday, and another week of MLS action is in the books, which means it's time for ESPN's Power Rankings. Our Power Rankings are derived from a combination of key season statistics (points per game, goal differential, expected goal differential), recent performance, the Opta computer ratings, and the observations of our writers. Who's climbing the table? Who's in free fall? We've ranked all 29 clubs in the league.

They just keep racking up points while short-handed, once again proving that this team has depth to go along with their star power. 3.
Columbus Crew Previous ranking: 3 The Crew spotted the Revs a goal before ripping off five straight for their sixth win in their last seven games. We'll see how they look without.
