1 Last: 2 Move up to the No. 1 spot sort of by default – that wasn't a great performance by any stretch. But it was a well-earned point on the road, and that's what good teams do. Last Week: Drew at Philadelphia, 2-2

Drew at Philadelphia, 2-2 This Week: Saturday vs. Portland (9:30 pm, MLS Live)

2 Last: 1 That got ugly quick. Dallas couldn't answer Seattle's intensity in the second half, and were forced to repeatedly scramble in defense. They didn't look like the home team. Last Week: Lost to Seattle, 3-2

Lost to Seattle, 3-2 This Week: Saturday vs. Toronto (8:30 pm, MLS Live)

3 Last: 3 Holding steady for now, but don't underestimate the loss of Ike Opara. He gave Sporting crucial minutes last season. Last Week: Bye

Bye This Week: Saturday vs. Montreal (8:30 pm, MLS Live)

4 Last: 7 Deuce is getting all the love, but let's spare a thought for Sigi Schmid. Two weeks in a row he's made clever tactical adjustments to get his team a result on the road. Last Week: Won at Dallas, 3-2

Won at Dallas, 3-2 This Week: Saturday at Chivas USA (10:30 pm, UniMas)

5 Last: 4 Very good first half followed by a so-so second half. Good enough for a point, though at times this weekend it felt like they should have had all three. Last Week: Drew at San Jose, 1-1

Drew at San Jose, 1-1 This Week: Saturday vs. D.C. United (7:30 pm, MLS Live)

6 Last: 6 Weren't as rampant against Vancouver as they were against Chivas the week before. The diamond midfield still looks good at times, but still isn't firing on all cylinders. Last Week: Won vs. Vancouver, 1-0

Won vs. Vancouver, 1-0 This Week: Saturday at Vancouver (7 pm, MLS Live/TSN2)

7 Last: 9 It was ugly and lacking in elegance, but it was a road win over a solid defensive team. Dillon Powers has quietly been one of the league's best players this year. Last Week: Won at Toronto, 1-0

Won at Toronto, 1-0 This Week: Saturday vs. San Jose (6 pm, MLS Live)

8 Last: 5 A much tougher defensive team than anyone thought they'd be. Obviously lacking punch without their two big names, however. Last Week: Lost to Colorado, 1-0

Lost to Colorado, 1-0 This Week: Saturday at Dallas (8:30 pm, MLS Live)

10 Last: 10 Did really good work in LA, and had plenty of looks to come away with at least a point. Still trying to figure out the right formation and personnel. Last Week: Lost at LA, 1-0

Lost at LA, 1-0 This Week: Saturday vs. LA (7 pm, MLS Live/TSN2)

11 Last: 16 Are these the real Revs? Always seemed in control against the Dynamo, and were rarely threatened. And it seems like the goals are going to start to come. Last Week: Won vs. Houston, 2-0

Won vs. Houston, 2-0 This Week: Saturday at Chicago (4 pm, NBCSN)

12 Last: 8 Three straight losses, and not a lot in this last one to suggest the streak's going to end this coming week on the road. Last Week: Lost at New England, 2-0

Lost at New England, 2-0 This Week: Saturday at Philadelphia (4 pm, MLS Live)

13 Last: 14 Went on the road and got a point, which seems to be their thing. The single-season record for draws is 16. This year's Fire already have five. Last Week: Drew at Montreal, 1-1

Drew at Montreal, 1-1 This Week: Saturday vs. New England (4 pm, NBCSN)

15 Last: 18 Two wins in a row even though they were on the back foot for about 85 minutes in this one. D.C. aren't playing great, but suddenly they're getting results. Last Week: Won vs. New York, 1-0

Won vs. New York, 1-0 This Week: Saturday at Columbus (7:30 pm, MLS Live)

16 Last: 13 One of the things that defined the Timbers last year was how precise they were with the ball. That's been mostly absent so far in 2014, and they're paying the price. Last Week: Drew vs. Chivas USA, 1-1

Drew vs. Chivas USA, 1-1 This Week: Saturday at Real Salt Lake (9:30 pm, MLS Live)

17 Last: 12 Frustration is starting to boil over for New York fans, who didn't imagine their first title defense of any sort would be so depressing. Last Week: Lost at DC, 1-0

Lost at DC, 1-0 This Week: Wednesday vs. Philadelphia (7:30 pm, MLS Live)

18 Last: 17 Dead last in the league on points, but showed a certain zest and flexibility with the addition of Yannick Djalo in the second half.

Last Week: Drew vs. Columbus, 1-1
