| 2008 Power Rankings: Week 18 | ||||
| Rank (Last Wk) | Team | Record (W-L-T) | Comment | |
 |
1 (1) | New England | 10-4-3 | About to test life without Michael Parkhurst -- but just temporarily during the Olympics. |
 |
2 (2) | Columbus | 9-5-4 | Will Hesmer steals three points for the Crew. |
 |
3 (5) | Chicago | 7-5-5 | Cuauhtemoc Blanco can't bring his All-Star magic to Fire's struggling attack. |
 |
4 (4) | Real Salt Lake | 6-6-6 | No All-Star berths for the first-place bunch; that's gotta put a chip on somebody's shoulder. |
 |
5 (9) | Houston | 5-4-8 | The Dynamo will look to conquer SuperLiga first, then work toward more MLS glory. |
 |
6 (6) | Chivas USA | 6-6-4 | Desperately need to shore up the midfield in time for the playoffs. |
 |
7 (3) | DC United | 7-8-1 | Mired in an ugly four-game losing streak at home in all competitions. |
 |
8 (7) | Toronto FC | 6-6-4 | So the answer to TFC's striking woes is Chad Barrett? What are we missing here? |
 |
9 (8) | Los Angeles | 6-7-5 | Norberto Solano would be an interesting option in midfield, but does L.A. really need another interesting option in midfield? |
 |
10 (13) | FC Dallas | 5-6-7 | Where would this team be without Kenny Cooper's goals? We might be about to find out. |
 |
11 (11) | Kansas City | 5-5-7 | That surge in offensive output sure didn't last long. |
 |
12 (10) | Colorado | 6-9-3 | After missing numerous chances, Conor Casey will be having nightmares about his game against Columbus. |
 |
13 (12) | New York Red Bulls | 5-6-7 | Being outplayed by the league's worst team doesn't bode well for the Red Bulls. |
 |
14 (14) | San Jose | 3-9-6 | Darren Huckerby opens his MLS account, but it's still not enough for the Quakes. |
