MLS Power Rankings, Week 3: Feeding the masses

Week 3 of the Major League Soccer season really delivered some action on a weekend where they could have easily been lost in the sauce. With America feasting on first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament and a full slate of matches in the European leagues throughout the weekend, MLS teams were serving up a nice alternative dish for its fans. Several matches this weekend featured teams scoring multiple goals and many results that came down to the wire. 27 balls found the back of the net in the 10 matches and with a weekend that saw many people staying inside watching games, these matches made it worth the time of the fans who ventured away from their TV sets and outside (in the case of United fans, into the cold) to watch some soccer. That's what MLS has to do when the sports calendar is loaded because it's the exciting matches that made some casual watchers into new fans.

Teams have not yet settled, but we're still early in the season. Some teams are starting to show they're for real while others aren't quite settled on the kind of soccer they're going to play. So far, there is one team that has earned maximum points, Sporting Kansas City (our new #1 this week) while the Seattle Sounders (taking over the basement lease payments at #20) are the lone team who have yet to earn a point through three matches. Still, with teams moving throughout the rankings with their play, there will be a point where we will know which teams are good and which ones aren't. This week still leaves us asking that question.

So, now it's time to hear your take because there has to be more out there. Which teams are the ones that we should be talking about after 3 weeks? Who benefits from the week off and which of the teams playing this weekend will be most at a disadvantage with the international window?
