There are a couple teams that we can start to assume are for real, while others still have questions surrounding them. We'll examine them in this week's Power Rankings.
Week 6 had a lot of late-match heroics and some dominating performances. Some teams snatched a draw from the grasp of defeat and some went out and took all 3 points home with authority. More importantly, about a month and a half into the season, we're starting to get a better sense of the teams that are for real. There are also some teams that, despite their star power, occupy the basement with a long term lease (hey there, Columbus Crew SC and New York Red Bulls).
