MLS: Brian Ching, Dax McCarty, FC Dallas - Houston Dynamo, MLS Playoffs, Oct 27, 2007 (ISI)

1. Houston – Knock New England out of the top spot for one reason: Have not lost in a competitive game since June 12. (3)

2. Columbus – Is Pat Noonan's best spot wide left? (2)

3. New England – Must get healthy and get Badilla involved ASAP. (1)

4. Real Salt Lake – Depth moves will continue to help them as the season progresses. (4)

5. Chicago – Shows a peculiar tendency to drop unnecessary points. (5)

6. D.C. United – Results are sometimes more important than performances. (7)

7. FC Dallas – Assured performance, even in a loss, shows the Hoops may have enough to compete. (8)

8. New York – Must take this home form and bring it on the road. (10)

9. Chivas USA – Probably deserved three points, but one isn't bad considering the composition of their team. (9)

10. Toronto FC – Find a striker. Any striker. Preferably one that scores goals. (6)

11. Kansas City – Another lukewarm performance from what is an increasingly lukewarm team. (11)

12. San Jose – The playoffs aren't impossible, not in this Western Conference. (13)

13. Los Angeles – Not convinced that things will get better if Bruce Arena walks into town. (12)

14. Colorado – Bold lineup changes sparked victory over Kansas City. (14)
