Major League Soccer Power Rankings; RSL on top

1. RSL: If you checked “Fat, happy and complacent” next to RSL on your preseason prognosis, well, you’re gonna want a do-over. The champs’ 3-0 win at San Jose was no fluke.

2. Columbus: Danny O’Rourke for U.S. left back! O.K., that’s a bit much. But he was darn good on a nice opening night for Columbus.

3. Seattle: It wasn’t the best night for Sigi Schmid’s Sounders and their sophomore debut, but Freddie and Fredy did enough to secure the points and remind everyone who the expansion team is now.

4. Kansas City: KC boss Peter Vermes has really found something in livewire attacker Ryan Smith. And holding mid Stephane Auvray is more than just a hair guy. He’s good, too.

5. Colorado: Sooner or later, Omar Cummings will get dinner-sized portions of national respect he deserves, rather than the typical appetizer portions. They took all three points at Chivas USA.
