MLS Power Rankings, Week 5: Dallas reigns supreme

The other team in Texas takes the top spot.

Jim O'Connor-USA TODAY Sports

Your weekly power rankings are back once again, and are back in my grubby hands. The last week's rankings are the rankings that you, the readers, chose. I apparently disapprove of your favorability towards the Whitecaps, as I am pretty harsh towards them. This weekends' games produced primarily draws, so anyone who got a win was rewarded with a solid bounce up the chart.

Who do you have where and why?
