Only 14 out of 21 sites published updates for week 27, putting it down to the international break and only a handful of MLS make-up games on the schedule. Give Me Sport has not updated rankings in 7 weeks, I’ll give them a one week grace period due to the international break before dropping.
A reminder of what Power Rankings should be (not that every site does, of course):
"If two teams played tomorrow, given their current injury concerns, form, and other considerations, who is likely to win on a neutral field? All things being equal, who is the best team going forward, based on what we know now?"
