Wasatch Soccer Sentinel16 out of 17 sites published for Week 20, covering match days 23-24. Who Scored was the only holdout since they have ceased updating their Power Rankings due to cutbacks in staff. They’ll be removed officially from the weekly tracking after 6 weeks per my stated removal clause below. MLS published their rankings for last week late so totals and standings have been adjusted.
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?"
